Mont Park Asylum, Former psychiatric hospital in Macleod, Melbourne, Australia
The large hospital complex contained separate blocks for male and female patients, treatment facilities, workshops, and agricultural areas spread across extensive grounds.
Mont Park Hospital for the Insane opened in 1912 and operated until the 1990s, including a period as a military rehabilitation facility during World War One.
The institution reflected early 20th-century approaches to mental health treatment through its design incorporating work therapy, recreational spaces, and medical facilities.
Several buildings from the former asylum remain on the grounds, which now form part of La Trobe University's campus and the Springthorpe residential development.
The facility maintained self-sufficiency through patient-operated farms that produced food for both Mont Park and other nearby mental health institutions.
