Summary

Destitute Asylum situated in Kintore Avenue was built of bluestone in 1877-78. Buildings were added over the years to accommodate the poor, infirm and orphans. Some of these buildings included a nursery, wash-house, stables and a morgue. The Destitute Asylum operated until 1926 providing financial assistance and temporary accommodation to the needy. The two storey building depicted is part of the women's general quarters and not on Kintore Avenue. It is part of quadrangle C, building 20. Arches feature along the walls of both storeys providing shelter from the elements.
