Description: This is a photo of the building known as ‘Minden’, or sometimes ‘Strathmore’, at Carlingford. It shows a large two-storey building with ornate wrought-iron verandahs circling the top floor. The building was initially used by the Church of England as a home for ‘delicate’ children, then from 1918 it became the Boys’ Home, and from 1928 it was used as a Girls’ Home. This photo is undated, the date included is an estimate.
