This photograph was taken to promote the Miss Tasmania Quest which helped to fund Rosebank Cottage.

Rosebank House, later Rosebank Cottage

This is a picture of a painting by Mollie Tomlin OAM, a well known artist of Glenorchy buildings. The painting is held by Glenorchy City Council. The children at Rosebank Cottage lived in an extension attached to the house. The Spastics Association, later Cerebral Palsy Tasmania used the house for administration and clinics.

The isolation cells are on either side of the corridor. The nurses’ station was to the left at the end of the corridor. It overlooked the dayroom.
