03 THE STORY

About this print

Curtains hang on 2 rails either side of a window in a ward room at Callan Park, one pair tied at the centre, the other falling loose, their grey fabric dusty against the pale wall. The door to the right has its lower panel boarded over with raw timber. Folded fabric and a dark sheet lie in a heap on the grimy floor. The room is otherwise empty.

Callan Park merged with Broughton Hall to form Rozelle Hospital in 1976. Full closure followed on 30 April 2008, when remaining patients were transferred to Concord Hospital. The hospital had operated continuously since 1 August 1878. The Kirkbride Complex was built between 1880 and 1884 by Colonial Architect James Barnet and Inspector General of the Insane Frederic Norton Manning.

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.
