On special occasions in 1927 and 1928, the Meher Ashram boys enjoyed pulling Baba up and down the hill path in a hand-drawn rickshaw. This is now kept in the Museum. Whenever Baba's birthday was celebrated at Meherabad He would ascend the Hill accompanied by crowds of His lovers and a loud ceremonial band. During meetings and sahavas programs, Baba would lead groups of His disciples walking up and down this path.

Later in 1938, in order to provide Baba some shade in His walks up and down the Hill, Valu planted the banyan and neem trees along the path. She would carry the ashram's wastewater by hand to nourish the saplings. The smaller trees were propagated by Mehera in the 1970s to be planted along the path to provide shade for Baba’s lovers walking up the Hill for darshan.

Before 1938, Baba would play badminton with the eastern women in the private compound north of the tank rooms, between the bamboo corridors in use then. The “Tin Shed” was erected over this area during the construction phase of 1938 when the women’s ashram was expanded. It served primarily as the dining area for the women. The grinding stone under the shed was used to grind grain during the ashram days. During the days, Baba would sometimes play ping-pong with them here. In the evenings, Baba would often spend time with His women mandali while seated on the gaadi.

The current stone wall around the Meher Retreat compound was erected in 1986 but part of the original wall built in 1938 can still be found at the north side. A fence was placed on top of the original wall around the compound with five rows of barbed wire. During World War II, Baba would occasionally order another strand of barbed wire to be added until there were eight rows. In the southwest corner of the compound during the ashram days, there was a zoo with a number of different types of animals and birds. In the northwest corner, there was a garage which first housed Elizabeth’s car and was later used for horses and a pony. Just outside the north wall was a chicken coop and a large paddock where Mehera would ride.

The Hospital building was also built during the major reconstruction of 1938, near the site of the Meher Ashram dormitory of 1927-28. The foundation contains stones salvaged from the original Post Office building. For the first year it was used as a maternity hospital for local village women, with Nadine Tolstoy serving as matron. Many babies were born here, and Baba would come each day and cradle the newborns. During 1939, the room adjacent to the Cage Room was used by Elizabeth Patterson and Norina Matchabelli to publish the “Meher Baba Journal”.
