DescriptionThought to be the Goodna Asylum (Wolston Park Hospital), which Benjamin Taylor is known to have photographed early in January 1907. Images of the Asylum by Taylor appeared in the January 26 1907 edition of The Queenslander newspaper. Women can be seen standing on the verandas of some of the buildings and washing hangs from the line in the yard of the front building. Wolston Park Hospital was opened on the 12 January 1865 with 57 male and 12 female patients. Prior to 1859, mental health patients were sent to Sydney. After separation, patients were lodged at the Brisbane Gaol. References (online)Mark Finnane ‘Wolston Park Hospital, 1865-2001: A Retrospect’
