Perth’s Silver Chain Nursing League Building has today been added to the State Register of Heritage Places.
The inclusion of the Wright Street building recognises the site’s significant cultural heritage, and its strong social value associated with the work of Silver Chain for the Perth community and the State.
Silver Chain began as the Silver Chain Nursing League club through the children’s column in Perth’s Western Mail newspaper run by journalist Muriel Chase under the pseudonym ‘Aunt Mary’. The name originated from the subscribers, known as the ‘Silver Links’, who paid an annual fee of one shilling to help fund the care of other children in need.
