03 THE STORY

About this print

Stairs descending past a tall window at Kenmore. The window is sash-framed, the panes intact, the timber weathered. Daylight enters across the full height of the opening and falls across the treads of the stair below. The treads are timber, scuffed at the centre. The handrail is turned hardwood. The walls of the shaft are painted plaster, weathered through patches of damp.

The Vernon core at Kenmore is the largest single body of work by Walter Liberty Vernon, the first NSW Government Architect. The complex opened in 1895 as the first purpose-built complete site for mental health care in rural NSW, designed for 700 patients across 19 wards on a 340.5-acre property south of Goulburn. The State Heritage Register listing describes the Vernon core as the finest corporate expression of Federation Free architecture in Australia. The Commonwealth sold the property in 2003 and the SHR listing followed on 1 April 2005.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A concrete stairwell descends between narrow walls. The surface is mottled grey, stained with damp and age. Metal handrails run parallel on both sides, bolted low against the plaster. Small debris litters each step. At the landing below, a single gridded window lets in daylight. Green lawn and trees are visible through the glass. The light spills upward across the bare walls, soft and diffused.
