The Foster Foundation was created in the early 1920s as a result of the bequest of Bradley Waters Foster, an early and generous supporter of the city of Huntington. Mr. Foster desired to build and maintain a home for elderly women in memory of his own beloved wife. Thus, the gracious building at 700 Madison Avenue was conceived and built. The mission and decades-long tradition of caring for seniors that Mr. Foster had desired are still evident at Madison Park today.
