About this print
A covered walkway runs the length of a fibro and brick annex building. Brown brick lines the left wall, silver spray paint scrawled across it. Louvre windows sit closed. The concrete floor carries diamond-pattern markings, now barely visible beneath a film of grit and dead leaves. Afternoon light presses through the glass-panelled right wall, graffiti tags darkening the panes. Debris collects along the skirting. The corridor narrows toward a blue door at the far end.

The series
Waterfall Sanatorium
Waterfall Sanatorium opened on 14 April 1909, twenty-six miles south of Sydney at an elevation chosen for what the era's medical orthodoxy called "high and rarefied atmosphere". By 1919 it held seven hundred and eighty-eight patients and was the largest sanatorium in New South Wales. It closed as a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1958.
