The Menzies Home for Boys was the new name given in 1943 to the Minton Boys' Home. The Menzies Home for Boys was for neglected boys under the age of eighteen who had been recommended by the Children's Welfare Department. The Home was often referred to as 'The Home on the Hill'. This institution is included in the Scheme as part of Menzies Inc.
