Worn floorboards run the full length of a corridor in the Kirkbride Block at Callan Park, drawing the eye toward a closed door backlit by strong morning light. A green exit sign glows above the door frame, an odd contrast against the peeling paint and aged timber skirting below. Vertical bands of shadow fall across the left wall where sunlight cuts through unseen openings.

03 THE STORY

About this print

Worn floorboards run the full length of a corridor in the Kirkbride Block at Callan Park, drawing the eye toward a closed door at the far end. Strong morning light backlights the door, and a green exit sign glows above the frame, an odd contrast against the peeling paint and aged timber skirting below. Vertical bands of shadow fall across the left wall where sunlight cuts through unseen openings.

Callan Park merged with Broughton Hall to form Rozelle Hospital in 1976. The Kirkbride Complex was built between 1880 and 1884 by Colonial Architect James Barnet and Inspector General of the Insane Frederic Norton Manning. Full hospital closure followed on 30 April 2008, and the site is now public parkland.

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.
