Now known as the Forsyth Institute, the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children was established in 1910 by the Forsyth family of Roxbury. It provided free care to children regardless of background before preventive care was widely practiced and served as a model for children's centers throughout the world. The 1912 building, designed by Bostonian Edward T. P. Graham, was originally U-shaped; subsequent additions completed the structure. The monumental style was a response to the Fenway location and the proximity to the Museum of Fine Arts. Roger N. Burham sculpted the bronze relief doors.
