Photograph - Colour, Clare Gervasoni, Abbotsford Convent Rooftop, 25/03/2012

Historical information

The Abbotsford convent housed large numbers of Good Shepherd nuns, as well as a number of unmarried mothers and their children. The mothers worked in a large commercial laundry facility. The large chimney in this photo is most probably associated with the laundry.

The convent has been closed for a number of years and is now used as a community centre.
