03 THE STORY

About this print

A pink-painted section of the complex at Kenmore, containing individual patient rooms. The doors along the corridor are panelled timber, painted in the same pink as the walls. Each door opens onto a single small room. The floor is timber boards. The walls are plastered, the paint faded and worn at the corridors of most-frequent use.

Kenmore was added to the NSW State Heritage Register on 1 April 2005, item 2930022. The complex 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 site was designed for 700 patients across 19 wards at opening and held over 1,400 by the 1960s. The Commonwealth sold the property in 2003. The State Heritage listing remains active.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A long corridor stretches deep into the building. Pale pink paint curls away from the walls in thick flakes, exposing grey render beneath. Doors stand open on both sides, some hanging off their hinges. A cast-iron radiator sits against the left wall, cold. The floor is bare concrete, dark with grime and moisture. Mould blooms black across the ceiling. A single light source at the far end pulls the eye forward.
