The Crosby Boys’ Home opened in October 1890. Six boys who had been staying in the Girls’ Home were transferred there. The home, which accommodated up to 25 boys. In 1905, Tsimshian community members, backed by the Methodist Church, started petitioning to have the boys’ and girls’ homes combined into a single co-ed industrial institute like the Coqualeetza Industrial Institute, at Sardis. From reports, discipline was overly strict, and poor financial support contributed to unsanitary conditions and disrepair such that the home had to be closed in 1914. Some of the boys were sent to Coqualeetza Industrial School, and the others discharged.
