Troup was opened as part of the Burnside Presbyterian Orphan Homes in October 1933 at North Parramatta. It had been 'Bramshaw' and was bought by Burnside in 1929. It was a home for kindergarten children. In 1968-1970 it became a home for babies and toddlers aged birth to three years, with an annexe called the Babies' and Toddlers' Centre. It closed in 1976.
