04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A ceramic drinking fountain sits fixed to the tiled wall of a lavatory cubicle. Paint peels from the ceiling in thick curls, collecting on the floor alongside chunks of plaster and dirt. Terrazzo partitions divide the stalls, their chrome hinges still bolted in place. A plywood board covers the window above. The tiles are yellowed. The air looks heavy with dust and damp.

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.
