Nazareth House, Wynnum, Heritage-listed charitable institution in Wynnum, Australia.

Nazareth House is a heritage-listed charitable institution at 272 Wynnum North Road, Wynnum, built from 1924 to 1939. The main building is a two-storey brick structure with wide cloistered balconies, leadlight windows in the entrance hall, and a chapel in the left wing. A brick building added in 1963 provided modern amenities for male residents and a new kitchen.

The Poor Sisters of Nazareth established this institution in 1925 under Archbishop Duhig's guidance, following his purchase of the Mount Margaret property in 1918. That purchase laid the foundation for the development of this charitable facility on the site.

The Poor Sisters of Nazareth ran the site as a home for the aged poor and as an orphanage; the first seven elderly women were taken in on 25 March 1921, and children arrived from England in April 1926, with local children admitted that October. The Sisters' records state that both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children were cared for at Wynnum over the following forty years.

The building is easily accessible and visible from the street, with its architectural features observable from outside. Keep in mind that this is an active care facility, so respectful behavior and understanding of ongoing operations are important during a visit.

The foundation stone of the eastern wing was laid by Archbishop Duhig on 13 April 1924, and builder George Turner's tender of £44,200 was accepted for the first section. The 1938-39 extension of one million bricks added the convent, chapel and laundry.
