03 THE STORY

About this print

White tiles line a functional room within the Kirkbride Complex at Callan Park. The tiles are small-format ceramic, the grout darkened with age but the surfaces still mostly intact. The walls are tiled to the ceiling. Two ceramic sinks sit beneath chrome taps, a small green door left open below to expose the pipework behind, and a shower stall with a concrete divider and metal grab bars occupies the far corner. Daylight enters from a window on the outer wall and falls across the tiled floor.

The Kirkbride Complex was built between 1880 and 1884 to a design by Colonial Architect James Barnet and Inspector General of the Insane Frederic Norton Manning. The complex was Australia's first purpose-built hospital for moral therapy, with ten ward blocks linked by a continuous covered veranda. Callan Park merged with Broughton Hall to form Rozelle Hospital in 1976. Full closure followed on 30 April 2008.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Cream ceramic tiles line the walls and floor of a communal bathroom. Two shower stalls sit divided by a terrazzo partition, steel grab rails still bolted in place. A small hatch in the rear wall exposes pipework and valve fittings. To the right, a porcelain basin hangs from exposed plumbing. Frosted louvre windows let in a flat, grey-green light. Grime darkens the grout lines. The floor tiles have lifted in long strips, edges curling.

Callan Park is a former psychiatric hospital at Rozelle on Iron Cove, proclaimed Callan Park Hospital for the Insane on 1 August 1878 and closed on 30 April 2008. Its Kirkbride Complex, built from 1880 to 1885 by Colonial Architect James Barnet with Inspector General of the Insane Frederic Norton Manning and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, was the first hospital in Australia designed on moral therapy principles: 10 sandstone ward blocks, 5 male and 5 female, linked by a continuous covered veranda in 61 hectares of parkland.
