A trick of the light.....or......very chilling when thinking of the poor souls imprisoned here. The building and aquisition of this area as a lunatic asylum was one of the first projects undertaken by the newly formed Queensland Government in 1865.

The building appears to be constructed of timber, tin, sandstone, and brick whether additions were added at later dates I have not discovered.
