About this print

A wall-mounted heater stands inside a room at Callan Park. The casing is grey-painted steel, the surface marked by rust where the paint has lifted. The heater is fitted to the wall on its original mounting bracket, the supply pipework still attached. The wall around the heater is plastered and painted, the paint peeling in patches. The room around the heater is empty.

Callan Park merged with Broughton Hall to form Rozelle Hospital in 1976. Full hospital closure followed on 30 April 2008. The site, on the Iron Cove foreshore at Lilyfield, is now public parkland managed by Greater Sydney Parklands. The Kirkbride Complex, Garryowen House and Broughton Hall were listed on the NSW State Heritage Register in April 1999.

From the field notes

Glazed ceramic tiles line the walls from floor to ceiling, their surface catching pale light from a high window. A cast-iron column radiator sits centred beneath the sill, bolted to the floor. To the right, a single tap valve protrudes from the tile. A metal bench runs along the left wall. The floor is grey vinyl, scuffed and lifting at the edges. The room is small, clinical, cold.

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.
