Algate House was opened as a boys' home by the Salvation Army in Lane Street, Broken Hill in 1968. It was converted to a family group home consisting of three residences, each supervised by a house parent, though it retained one name. The home closed on 30 June 1996.

According to staff members from the Salvation Army, the houseparents of the individual houses at Algate House tried to make them as much like a family home as possible, but they did some activities with all the children and carers together from each house. For example, one of the carers would drive all the high school children to school in the home bus, and shopping was bought in bulk and distributed to each house.
