The Bellefaire Orphanage was a Jewish orphanage in Cleveland Ohio founded in 1868 as an orphanage for children who lost their parents in the Civil War, making it one of the oldest orphanages in the US. It was originally founded by Dr Seele as the Cleveland Water Cure Establishment in 1848. This "was a combination sanitarium and resort for the treatment of various ailments and diseases through hydropathy" "enjoying regional popularity for nearly 2 decades", before being sold in 1868 to a national Jewish organisation, and initially being called the Jewish Orphan Asylum.
