The history of The Glen Retirement System dates back to 1890, to a woman named Miss Mary Files. She dreamed of providing a permanent home for the homeless elderly women of Shreveport, but died before her plans could be completed. In her will, Miss Files designated $25,000 to be used to fulfill her dream. In 1898, her two sisters, Miss Dick Files and Mrs. Rhoda Files Hunter, saw that her wish was carried out and formed the "Home for the Homeless." The Files' sisters rented a small house on Logan Street for women only. The "Home for the Homeless" depended entirely on the charity of local citizens.
