Photos of two advertisments for Ormiston Ladies' College.  The school was first established c.1861 by Mrs Ainslie in George Street, East Melbourne. In 1862 she moved the school to 40 (now 101) Powlett Street as shown in the first advertisement. In 1868 Mrs Ainslie sold the school to Miss Nimmo who moved it to what is now kown as 179 Gipps Street, as shown in the second advertisement. The source of the first advertisement has not been identified, but the second comes from the school history, The Story of Ormiston Girls' School 1849-1964 (1964).
