03 THE STORY

About this print

Looking between two levels of one of the residential buildings at Kenmore. The view runs through an opening in the floor of the upper level down into the lower level beyond, joined by a short flight of stair. The walls of both levels are painted plaster, the floors timber boards. The light is even, entering from windows on the outer wall of the lower level.

The complex was added to the NSW State Heritage Register on 1 April 2005 as the Kenmore Psychiatric Hospital Complex, item 2930022. Kenmore opened in 1895 as the first purpose-built complete site for mental health care in rural NSW, designed by Walter Liberty Vernon, the first NSW Government Architect. The State Heritage Register listing describes the Vernon core as the finest corporate expression of Federation Free architecture in Australia and the largest single body of his work. The Commonwealth sold the property in 2003. The listing remains active.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A dark timber balustrade climbs through the centre of the stairwell, its turned spindles still intact. The newel post is heavy, capped with a solid ball finial worn smooth at the edges. Paint peels from every wall in thick curls, exposing plaster beneath. Graffiti marks the left wall in purple. A red fire indicator sits near the ceiling on the upper landing. Light enters through a doorway below the arch, falling across debris scattered on the floor.
