Summary

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

Please note that this page reproduces the original language used in the historical sources drawn upon to compile this entry. This language includes offensive and derogatory terms which are today considered unacceptable. We apologise for any offence caused by such language.

Slade Cottage began operating on 5 February 1973. When the Glandore Boy's Home closed down in that same month, a number of the buildings were renovated and reopened as cottage and family homes. This cottage accommodated up to twelve boys with 'emotional' or 'behavioural' problems. In 1975 Slade cottage was moved to Somerton Park on the site of the former Seaforth Home. It closed in 1988.
