Melbourne Legacy
Document, Hostel furnishings not yet purchased
Many items had to be purchased or supplied when setting up the first Legacy hostel, and these documents record the variety of equipment needed for such a project. Melbourne Legacy ran three residences: Blamey House (purchased 1947) , Stanhope (purchased 1945) and Harelands (purchased 1950), to take care of children whose fathers were servicemen, and who may have been left orphans, or whose mother may have been unable to care for them herself. Harelands accommodated boys and girls under the age of 14, Blamey House looked after boys over 14, and Stanhope looked after girls over 14. The children were cared for until they were old enough to become independent.As well as detailing the items themselves, the lists identify Myers as a major supplier. Prices give an interesting insight into the times, as does what are seen to be necessities.Faded white copy paper with black type, 2 holes punched for filing.00520 Black ink handwriting added at bottom 00520.1 Numeral 5 in pencil, pencilled date 4/3/43 00520.1(2) Numeral 6 in pencil, pencilled alteration to total 00520.2 Numeral 7 in pencil, pencilled ticks 00520.2(2) Numeral 8 in pencil, pencilled item additions and prices 00520.3 Numeral 10 in pencil, pencilled item additions and prices, 'For L/ Cash" in ink top left hand side.residences, holmbush initial negotiations -
