AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'“A lunatic asylum, like a prison, is one of those estimable public institutions which we all admire most at a distance, but which very few of us care to become too intimately acquainted with.” 

'–Journalist, Ovens & Murray Advertiser 1903

'Beechworth Asylum has sat gracefully over the historic goldrush town of Beechworth for 150 years. Detailed within is a short, defined history of the asylum and the grounds, complete with photos and original contract plans to show the buildings and the architecture. Find out all about this hidden palace of broken dreams, and learn all the secrets of its many buildings and the heritage-listed gardens.'
