Details
The Ministering Children's League Convalescent Home was established at Cottesloe Beach in 1897 for adults. A few children were admitted as paying inpatients during the early years of the Home, but thereafter were only admitted to the Convalescent Home during 1943, when 50 children from rural WA came to stay as part of a Country Women's Association holiday program.
