About this print

A dining room at Callan Park. The floor is concrete, scored with two parallel lines marking the working layout of the room. A service counter runs across the far wall, the working surface stained and the fittings stripped. Ivy climbs through the window frames on the right wall. Fluorescent fittings hang from the unpainted ceiling. The room is empty of furniture.

Callan Park was designed for around 600 patients but held 1,500 by 1930, more than double the designed capacity. Successive inquiries in 1923, 1948 and 1955 turned on the overcrowding. The hospital merged with Broughton Hall in 1976 to form Rozelle Hospital and closed on 30 April 2008. The site is now public parkland managed by Greater Sydney Parklands.

From the field notes

If ever you needed an example that nature always finds a way. Here it is.

The series

Callan Park

2016–2018 · 66 photographs

Callan Park opened in 1885 as the Callan Park Hospital for the Insane, on land at Rozelle in Sydney's Inner West. The Kirkbride Complex was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and superintendent Frederick Norton Manning, intended as a working example of the more progressive psychiatric care principles of the period. The hospital was reorganised through the twentieth century and many of the wards remain. Brett photographed across multiple visits between 2016 and 2018.
