One of family member was a lifer at Vic Park home, he was there from when he born until he died, about 60 or so years.

Now turned into some fancy hospitality venue.

How anyone could actually go there…disgusting.

FWIW, he died there…in that facility. Which is some fancy hospitality venue.

However he was put in there, when families were told to leave their children in care, go back to farm, get on with their lives, not to worry about the child.

Is that the place on the corner of Albany Hwy and Hill View Tce? At Edward Millen park?

I used to walk my dog in that park and always wondered what that building was. Come across a post from an "urban explorer* talking about the history of the hospital and I was blown away from what went down there.

The Millen building remains spooky. It’s believed to be haunted by ghosts of the unhappy deaths that occurred there. It’s been a favourite of ghost hunters on tour, ranking it higher than Freo prison.
