Callum Park
The Rozelle Hospital site
in Sydney’s inner west is 61 hectares
of exceptionally beautiful, undulating waterfront
parkland.
The site incorporates many
layers of archaeological, Aboriginal, historical,
cultural, aesthetic, and environmental heritage.
It contains many heritage
buildings, including the original houses
(1839 and 1842) of the two estates on which
it is based;
and the magnificent Kirkbride
Block, completed in 1885 for the Callan
Park psychiatric hospital is now the campus
of Sydney College of the Arts.
