About this print
Sunlight cuts through a row of tall windows and throws long parallel shadows across the corridor floor. Red steel columns line the passage between glazed panels on one side and brown brick on the other. The ceiling is painted pale green, fluorescent fittings still bolted in place. A small fern pushes through a crack at the base of a column. Graffiti covers the brickwork and the rusted metal cladding beneath the windows. Grit and leaf litter coat the concrete underfoot.
Brett Patman
The series
Waterfall Sanatorium
The first patients arrived at the Hospital for Consumptives, Waterfall on 14 April 1909, with initial provision for 180 men. A women's wing opened in May 1912 for 120; by 1919 it had become the largest sanatorium in New South Wales, holding 788 patients. The site sat at about 1,000 feet (305 m), 26 miles (42 km) south of Sydney, on the medical theory that tuberculosis needed 'high and rarefied atmosphere in the country away from the grime and pollution of cities'.
