03 THE STORY

About this print

The meal service area at Callan Park. Stainless steel benchtops run the length of the room, meeting a central cooking range with twin ovens and a control panel still in place. 3 deep sinks line the left counter, and open light-blue drawers sit ajar on the right. Curved multi-pane windows along the back wall pick out dust on the tiled floor below.

Callan Park's meal service supported up to 1,500 patients at the 1930 peak, more than double the hospital's designed capacity of around 600. The Kirkbride Complex was built between 1880 and 1884 to a design by James Barnet and Frederic Norton Manning. The hospital merged with Broughton Hall to form Rozelle Hospital in 1976 and closed on 30 April 2008.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Stainless steel benchtops line both walls of the kitchen, running deep toward a curved bank of windows. A commercial oven sits centred at the far end. Tiled splashbacks catch dull light. The floor is small-format ceramic, grimy but intact. Overhead, a ceiling fan hangs motionless. A fire alarm panel is mounted on the right wall. Every surface carries a film of grey dust.

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.
