ROSLYN


The Morongo College history published in 1969 described the first building occupied by Morongo as follows:
'Roslyn' the property of Howard Hitchcock, Esq. This beautiful and commodious residence is pleasantly situated in Latrobe Terrace, on the brow of the hill, overlooking Corio Bay, and with an extensive outlook over Geelong and District. 'Roslyn' has a frontage to Latrobe Terrace, by a splendid depth westward along Elizabeth Street. The property is admirably suited for accommodation for boarders, being well sheltered by shrubberies and ornamental trees, and ensuring privacy. Provision is being made for extensions immediately. Sleeping out balconies, a large dining room, additional bedrooms, bath rooms, etc., are being erected before the opening in 1920. In the present Scheme 30 boarders will be taken, and present indications are that more applications will be received than can be accommodated.'
