The Salvation Army Girls’ Home, Cottesloe was established in 1918. Girls aged 3 to 16 years and pre-school aged boys were accommodated in either ‘Kia-Ora’ or ‘Byanda’. During World War II, the Home relocated to Kellerberrin in 1942, and returned to Cottesloe in 1944. In 1969 the girls were transferred to Withnell House, Mt Lawley, which they called ‘Cottesloe House’, but which was known by the Department of Child Welfare as ‘Withnell House Girls Home’. The buildings at Cottesloe were demolished.
