Summary

Former Lunatic Asylum, Adelaide looking north. This building, the back of which is depicted in the photograph, was demolished in 1938. See C 226. The Adelaide Lunatic Asylum was opened in March 1852 and was built on parklands on the corner of Botanic Road and Hackney Road. It was enlarged several times and later it was used as the infectious diseases hospital until 1938 when it was demolished. All that remains is Yarrabee House.
