Lyndon Lodge was a hostel run by the Salvation Army to provide 'aftercare' for boys leaving the Bayswater Boys' Homes. It opened in 1946 in a property known as 'Talana' in Auburn, an area of Hawthorn. It provided accommodation for up to 30 boys between the ages of 14 and 18 who were learning trades or working in the city. The boys were expected to pay their own maintenance costs where possible. In 1987 the Salvation Army sold the property at Auburn, and Lyndon Lodge moved to a smaller home on Walker Street, Murrumbeena. Lyndon Lodge had closed by 2004.
