Summary

[General description] In the foreground are the part of the gardens of the Adelaide Lunatic Asylum. Being winter the tall trees have shed their leaves giving a good view of the building, designed in the Italianate style by Colonial Architect Edward Angus Hamilton. At the time this photograph was taken patients were being transferred across to the new Asylum at Glenside ( built in 1870) overcrowding forcing a need for expansion.
