Default Allendale Farm School or ?

I was wondering what is Allendale farm, who went there? Was it a school for certain children or like a home? My Grandfather is listed on the roster for 1930's and I was confused because of the different headings on the roster had things like lang spoken, mother and father birth place and skilled labor questions? Please if you could point me in the right direction or give me any info that would be great.
Thank you,
Tonya

Lake Villa, IL

The village did not develop much of a commercial center to compare with nearby villages such as Antioch and Fox Lake. The Lake City Hotel burned in 1915. By the 1920s Lehmann's children had built expansive mansions on scattered estates, contributing to an image of the area as a wealthy enclave. Ice harvesting provided employment for some farmers and local residents in the winter. Lake Villa was also the location of the Allendale School, an institution for homeless boys founded in 1897. The Central Baptist Children's Home located itself on a Lake Villa estate in 1948.

It appears to have been a school or shelter for homeless boys.
