03 THE STORY

About this print

A long corridor at Kenmore, leaves drifted along its length. The leaves have arrived through doorways and broken windows across years of vacancy and lie thick along one side of the corridor. The floor is timber boards under the leaves. The walls are painted plaster. The doors at the sides of the corridor are closed.

The complex has been largely vacant since the Commonwealth sale in 2003 and was added to the NSW State Heritage Register on 1 April 2005 as the Kenmore Psychiatric Hospital Complex, item 2930022. The site opened in 1895 as the first purpose-built complete complex for mental health care in rural NSW, designed by Walter Liberty Vernon, the first NSW Government Architect. The State Heritage listing remains active. The corridors carry the proportions of the original design.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A narrow corridor stretches deep into the building. Pale blue-green paint clings to the walls in uneven patches. Dead leaves have banked against the skirting beneath a row of multi-pane windows, blown in through missing glass. Timber doors line the right side, their panels scarred and peeling. Weak daylight filters through the windows and from an open doorway at the far end. The air looks damp. The floor is gritty underfoot.
