Summary

[Taken from the South Australian guide Finding Your Own Way]

Reception Cottage began operating on 11 February 1973. When the Glandore Boy's Home closed down that same month, a number of the buildings were renovated and reopened as cottage and family homes. This cottage accommodated twelve boys on a temporary basis. In 1975 this cottage was moved from Glandore to Somerton Park on the site of the former Seaforth Home. The cottage closed on 18 March 1979.
