What a very handsome building it was / is. James Barnet architect. BUT . . . It seems a lot of the images in State Records NSW Archive are mistakenly labelled as "Gladesville" when they are Callan Park. Rather large Ooops! eg - Most of this list is wrong (I think, but my knowledge of asylums is like that of court houses, police stations, and prisons - very limited!) - investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/search.as... .

beachcomber australia Thanks for this info, the photos would have come to us labelled that way...possibly because at one stage Callan Park was "managed as a branch of Gladesville Hospital" - see Advanced Search -> Agency (Agency Number = 69) I'll pass your comment and links along. AB

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Everyone, including (or especially) Government Departments, makes missteaks! It would be great to get these very interesting, high quality, and rather beautiful photos better known, especially with the new lease of life Callan Park or Kirkbride is experiencing as the Sydney College of the Arts. The HHT Open Day on 6/11/10 (see link above) might be a good place to start. Having spent time finding out about the place, I would love to have a snoop around. Field Trip anyone? Unfortunately I am 400 kms away...

“Carlow District Lunatic Asylum admitted its first patient on 7 May 1832 and initially served the counties of Carlow, Kildare, Wexford and Kilkenny, and the city of Kilkenny. The Asylum District changed twice: in 1852 and 1868, asylums opened to cater for Kilkenny and Wexford patients, respectively. After 1868 then, Carlow District Lunatic Asylum catered only for Carlow and Kildare patients. From the enactment of the Local Government Act, 1925, Carlow District Lunatic Asylum became known as Carlow District Mental Hospital. It became known by its current name, St Dympna’s Hospital, in 1958.”

George St Asylum/State Hospital and Home for Age and Infirm Men, Parramatta

Anyone have any ideas where exactly this was located? The captions refer to George St and Macquarie St. But these street don't go to where the present Cumberland Hosptial is which owes it's origins to this establishment...
Mich said:
I thought it was on the north side near the jail.
Mich said:
investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/entity.aspx?path=\agency\1997 Well this website says it actually was at George Street, and that the building was originally built in 1824. I always thought it was on the north side, but there isn't any George Street on the north side. I really should figure this out, my greatgreat grandfather died there. I don't think this establishment was located at Cumberland Hospital, why do you think this ?
Mich said:
I cant make much sense of this thread archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/AUS-PT-JACKSON-CON... but I get the impression that the George Street Asylum was approximately at the vicinity of where the Workers Club is now.
