Clovernook

Clovernook: Home for the Blind is a brief history originally published in 1957. Clovernook was built on the grounds of the home of noted poets Alice and Phoebe Cary in Cincinnati, Ohio. Within a decade it became one of the most innovative homes for the blind, incorporating a weaving shop and, importantly, a braille press which, by the 1920s, was the second leading publisher of braille books in the country. It remains to this day one of the largest braille producers in the world. This brief history traces Clovernook's origins to the middle of the twentieth century.
