04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A doorway opens onto a small utility room. Pink mosaic tiles cover the floor, cracked and scattered with plaster debris. A white ceramic basin hangs on the far wall beneath a six-pane window, its glass partly obscured by a cardboard panel. A single metal chair sits beside it. Pale yellow paint peels from the upper walls. White square tiles line the lower half. A green metal cabinet stands to the left. Warm light fills the space but nothing moves.

Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
