    This has been bugging me for yonks! It has to be somewhere up the Parramatta River ... ? The old building at Callan Park ? Or Gladesville Hospital ?

    Whoopee! Found it !

    It is at the old GLADESVILLE Hospital. Seen on this GoogleMapsSatellite - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Gladesville,+New+South+Wales&am... . We are looking south from the north side of the building across Parramatta River towards Abbotsford.

    Anyone know what the building was used for in the asylum?

    It is the former Medical Superintendent's Residence (check the unusual arrangement of first floor windows). Designed by Mortimer Lewis 1836-38.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/hpeters] I don't think so, because of the unusual smaller top left windows, which match the other photo. The Priory is a grander building and more symmetrical - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Priory1.JPG .

    Callan Park, see



    Does anyone know what this room was for - dining, hall, chapel?

    It is a wonderful photo, full of ghosts which had not yet happened.

    Exterior -

  • beachcomber australia said:
    It was the recreation hall and chapel, with male and female dining halls either side behind retractable iron shutters, so that a larger space could be made. Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13591166

    Modern aerial shot is at maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&.... The building houses a cafe and large conference room at the Sydney College of the Arts these days
