Background

History

The facility, originally known as the "William Simpson's asylum for indigent men of advanced age", was commissioned by Francis Simpson, a former captain with the East India Company, in memory of his son William who had died at the age of 22. The asylum was completed in June 1836. It was three-floors high and could accommodate 31 patients. In 1907 a new building called the Governor's House was finished: the house, which was designed by Andrew McLuckie and Ronald Walker, was for the Governor of the asylum.
