By Susan Piddock
This book is available online to read, but not to download, without payment. It has some sections from Willow Court and there are some comparisons with other Institutions which are interesting. Susan also looks and compares a number of institutions against John Conolly’s “Ideal” Asylum Model .
The Willow Court inforation starts about chapter 8. There are floor plans of both Parkside Asylum (SA) and Adelaide Asylum (SA) and some early sketches of the Barracks, Willow Court’s floor plan. This is an adaption from her thesis work and reads like a piece of academic work, but really gives an evidence basis for the conclusions that are made. The book costs $205 on some websites, but is available here to read for free, thanks Susan.
Cheers
