a colonial vernacular slab cottage built around 1890 in the New South Wales Southern Tablelands

Shafts of sunlight push through gaps in the iron cladding

Dust and stillness replaced the 65-foot oven and six thousand dozen rolls an hour

Blind Size:M Pool at BankstownA Venetian blind hangs askew in a window of the novitiate building at Lewisham Hospital, its slats thick with years of settled dust. The novitiate was the entry point for women joining the Little Company of Mary, the order that ran the hospital complex from 1889 until 1986. The hospital formally closed around 1988, leaving spaces like this one mid sentence. Part of the Lewisham Hospital series.
