03 THE STORY

About this print

Wooden bench drawers hang open along the left wall of a ward room at Callan Park, several pulled out and left mid-use, while a white ceramic basin sits against white tiles at the far end. An L-shaped timber desk occupies the corner beneath the windows. Conduit and electrical outlets run exposed along the plaster walls.

Callan Park was proclaimed as a separate institution from Gladesville on 1 August 1878. 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 hospital merged with Broughton Hall in 1976 to form Rozelle Hospital. Full closure followed on 30 April 2008.

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.
