The Willowburn Epileptic Home, was situated at the corner of Hogg and Tor Streets, North Toowoomba. The institution was run by the State of Queensland. It was officially opened by her Excellency Lady Goold Adams on 20 January 1920. Evidence shows that children were placed at Willowburn Epileptic Home, however more research is needed on this topic.
The home, erected in the grounds of the Willowburn Mental Hospital, originally accommodated 80 patients of both sexes, including children. Inmates were received from the Diamantina Hospital and Dunwich Benevolent Asylum. Matron Chatfield was appointed Superintendent upon the opening of the home.
