The Gordon Institute was established in 1886 and it offered boys classes and a place to socialise. The Institute aimed to find boys work placements in the country. The institute did accommodate boys aged 5 to 14. In 1951, new facilities were opened in Highett, and the institution became known as the Gordon Home for Boys.
