The Kearns-St. Ann's Orphanage, at 430 East 2100 South in South Salt Lake, Utah, was built in 1890. It was designed by architect Carl M. Neuhausen. Later serving as St. Ann's School, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[1]

According to its NRHP nomination, the orphanage is significant partly for its architecture, with "modest decorative elements allud[ing] to Renaissance and Mannerist" styles, using Neuhausen's rare-for-Utah skills. And is important as representing "the important educational and religious contributions to Utah society of Bishop Lawrence Scanlan and Thomas and Jennie Kearns.^[2]:4
