Summary

Aerial view of the Mental Hospital at Parkside in 1938. From 1846-1852 patients were admitted to the Public Colonial Lunatic Asylum which was a small wooden house of eight rooms and cottages near the water tower on Conyngham Street at Glenside. Parkside Mental Hospital was one of the main psychiatric facilities in 1954. Parkside Hospital was a self contained village with an administration area, powerhouse, laundry, kitchen, store, mortuary, woodheap, gardens, tailor's shop and a canteen. As seen in the photograph the whole complex is surrounded by wide, open, productive land which would have created a calming ambience for the patients.
