Presbyterian Orphanage of Missouri, also known as Farmington Children's Home and Presbyterian Children's Home, is a historic orphanage and national historic district located at 412 West Liberty Street in Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri. The district encompasses five contributing large brick buildings built between 1939 and the early 1950s in the Georgian Revival style. They are the Administration Building and Dining Hall, built in 1939 and enlarged in the 1940s, two large dormitories built in the early 1950s (Dearing Hall and Harlan Hall), and a smaller "hospital" building known as Holmes Cottage built in 1940. The Presbyterian Children's Home vacated the campus in 1999.[2] The campus is currently an apartment complex for senior citizens.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
