03 THE STORY

About this print

An office in one of the main administration buildings at Kenmore. The floor is polished timber, the boards laid wide. The walls are plastered and painted. A pair of tall sash windows admit even daylight across the room. The fittings of the office have been removed; the joinery of the room remains. The proportions are those of an administrative space rather than a clinical one.

The administration buildings sit within the Vernon-designed core at Kenmore. Walter Liberty Vernon, the first NSW Government Architect, designed the complex that opened in 1895 as the first purpose-built complete site for mental health care in rural NSW. The State Heritage Register listing describes the Vernon core as the largest single body of his work and 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 small office sits empty at the back of the building. Polished hardwood floors catch light filtering through venetian blinds and thin curtains. A dark timber desk holds a microwave, loose papers, a bundled cloth. The ceiling fan is still. To the left, an ornate timber partition with panelled doors separates this room from the corridor beyond. Plaster walls show staining and scuff marks at every height. A loose cable trails across the skirting board.

Kenmore Asylum

2020 · 74 photographs

Kenmore Asylum opened on Taralga Road, Goulburn, in 1895 as the first purpose-built complete mental health complex in rural New South Wales. The site was acquired in 1879 under the same Inspector-General who initiated Callan Park. The hospital closed around 2003 and was listed on the NSW State Heritage Register in 2005.
