Brunswick. "The Harbour" Salvation Army Hostel 20 Cohuna St., by John T. Collins
Details
The Harbour, in West Brunswick, was established by the Salvation Army in 1898. It operated as a maternity home and home for young women aged 14 to 18. It closed in 1994.
The Harbour was situated in Cohuna Street, West Brunswick.
According to the DHHS guide 'Finding Records', the commercial laundry that operated at the Harbour closed in the 1960s. From that time, the institution focused on the needs of teenage girls, supporting their transition to independent living. From the mid 1960s until it closed in 1994, the institution was known as Hillview House.
