Many of the bricks that line the sidewalks of Main Street are from the orphanage that used to sit to the north east of the orange groves that Disneyland was built on. The land on which the orphanage stood lay outside the original footprint of Disnyland and would not have impeded the construction in any way. However Walt, according to close friends, simply found it "too depressing" to have near his Magic Kingdom, so he purchased the property and had it demolished. It is unknown what became of the residents.
