An old soldiers' home is a military veterans' retirement home, nursing home, or hospital, or sometimes an institution for the care of the widows and orphans of a nation's soldiers, sailors, and marines, etc.
Many of the old soldiers' homes in the United States were constructed in high Victorian style, like the New Hampshire Soldiers' Home in Tilton, New Hampshire.
