...or it could have been the original Glenbrook Lodge, known as the
Glenbrook Girls Home...it may have been on Circular Road.

"The Salvation Army Glenbrook Lodge is owned and operated by the
Governing Council of the Salvation Army in Canada.

It originated in 1948 as a home for unmarried mothers and their babies
and was known as the Glenbrook Girls Home. The Glenbrook Girls Home
continued to provide services until 1965. In this same year the girls
home closed and the senior citizens located at the Sunset Lodge on 19
Circular Road were moved to the Glenbrook Lodge for Senior Citizens."
