All the children were born at the Quambi Hospital on South Terrace, and this information was published in the Adelaide Advertiser, in response to a question :
Records held by the Adelaide City Council Archives indicate the Quambi Nursing Home was opened in 1909 by Mrs Elizabeth Bartels, a registered nurse. The home was originally in Pennington Terrace, North Adelaide, on Part Town Acre 702/715 in a large house which would now be midway between King William Road and Sir Edwin Smith Avenue. About 1919, it became Quambi Maternity Hospital and moved to 293 South Terrace, on the NW corner of Louisa Street. A photograph of the South Terrace Hospital shows it was a fairly small two-storey stone building with a large cloistered front verandah. The site had previously been used as a private convalescent home and YMCA haven. The Quambi Hospital was licensed by the Adelaide City Council in its capacity as the Local Board of Health for the city area. From the early 1940s, the hospital was owned by Joseph Vaughan and managed by matron Jessica Grace Vaughan. According to records, the hospital developed a poor name for hygeine and sanitation, and its closure in 1958 followed a coronial enquiry into the death of a patient. The building was sold the the Mothers and Babies Health Association.they demolished the building in 1959 to make way for its new headquarters. The site is now occupied by Child and Youth Health.
