Former Female Refuge Complex [editor's note: former site of the Alexandra Babies' Home, Scott Parade, Ballarat East]

Details

Description: This single storey building at 187 Scott Parade was constructed in 1909 for the Alexandra Babies’ Home (later known as the Alexandra Toddlers’ Home). Previously, babies and their mothers were accommodated at the two-storey building at 183 Scott Parade (the former Ballarat Female Refuge). It would seem that babies and toddlers were accommodated in both buildings in Scott Parade at different times.
