Former Anglican Girls' Orphanage, Adelaide Terrace, Perth, Western Australia

            This building, constructed between 1899 and 1904, was originally the Perth Girl’s Orphanage and was the first purpose-built orphanage built by the Anglican Church in Western Australia.  However, the association of the orphanage to this site dates back to the 1860s.   

In 1868 the first Girls’ Orphanage, with seven girls, was established on this site in Adelaide Terrace using existing cottages that were purchased and adapted by the Church from the money raised.  The cottages were set on a generous block of land with enough land to cultivate for food supplies for the Orphanage, and also to add other outbuildings and sheds required.  The formal opening of the Orphanage was arranged for 1 June 1868 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the founding of the colony.  Although originally set up just to take in girls the number of boys needing similar care was also becoming critical.  Exactly a year later, a Boys’ Orphanage also opened on the same site, in a new building but with a high fence built to separate it from the girls’ accommodation.
