Description: This is a photograph of the building known as Strathmore at Glebe. It shows a large three-storey stone building with a small front portico in the middle of a lower-storey verandah. The sides of the verandah appear to have been partially enclosed, potentially for use as additional rooms. Strathmore was bought by the Church of England in 1899 for use as a women’s rescue home, then as a girl’s home. In the 1930s, when this photograph was taken, Strathmore was used as accommodation for homeless families.
