Summary

Walkerville Boys' Home was founded in 1886. It was started in a rented cottage in Smith Street, Walkerville, by a group of Church of England members headed by the Reverend George Dove, rector of the Walkerville parish. Later, Robert Barr-Smith donated funds for the purchase of these premises. In 1955 the home was renamed 'Kennion House', after Bishop GW Kennion who had been Bishop of Adelaide at the time of its establishment. Reproduced in the 'Observer', February 28th, 1925.
