Allonah House (1965): was originally built for females requiring high security. It was later used to accommodate high security (intense) patients that were basically not even allowed out of the Ward. During this time No female staff were allowed to work on the Ward for safety reasons.
Adjoining Allonah is an enclosed courtyard opposite the Occupational Therapy Building and fronting on to 'The Avenue'. Constructed of reinforced concrete, brick and asbestos with small paned windows. Contains elements of prison design with small cells and windows. It includes three fruit trees, roses and two greenhouses.
