Summary

Roberts Cottage was a cottage style Home that was part of the Methodist Church run Children's Home known as Lentara. It opened in 1964 replacing the building known as Roberts Home which was badly damaged in the 1954 Adelaide earthquake. The original building was demolished and this new Cottage was built ten years later on the same site. Roberts Cottage continued to operate until the mid-1980s. It was the last of the Homes at Lentara's Magill site to close.
