Murray Vale was a girls’ home established by the United Protestant Association of New South Wales in Albury in 1958. Murray Vale was a girls’ home. It closed in 1983.
Murray Vale was the second purpose-built home constructed by the UPA and used a similar plan to the Sunnylands. Murray Vale was opened by Thomas Agst, the founder of the United Protestant Association, on 12 April 1958.
The United Protestant Association’s Ladies Auxiliary opened an op shop to raise funds for the girl’s home in 1959, which still survives.
The Girls’ Home Recreational Shed was reconstructed while the home was still in operation and reopened and named Lionel Heffner Recreational Room in 1982.
