Brochure, not dated but c.1910. The institute was founded in 1883 and effectively closed in 1939. The brochure is yellowed with age and moth or insect eaten. It is about 25cm wide by 20cm high. The middle page is actually 50cm wide but is folded in to the centre on both sides to match the front and back pages. In other references the centre is sometimes called "The Servants' Training Institute." The Berry Street site and building outlines can be seen on the 1897 MMBW Plan 879 (BW0506). Printed by Stillwell & Co., Melbourne.
