Ward 21 - Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
In August 1900 just shy of 1300 acres of land was proclaimed by the Government and reserved for an Asylum for the Insane.
In 1901 approval for the construction of the 'Morisset Asylum for the Insane' was provided for under the state 'Insanity Act'.
In 1930 maximum security wards (Wards 21 & 22) built in a separate walled compound about 1.5 kilometres from the centre of the main hospital. Named 'Wyee Bay Gaol' this part of the hospital went on to have a long and distinguished role in the care of the criminally insane in NSW.
Ward 21 was officially closed in 1991 and the site was Heritage listed in April 1999.
