Place: Corner Church and Newcomen Streets, Newcastle
Source: Newcastle Morning Herald 13 March 1902
Details: In 1902 when the Deanery was demolished the Newcastle Morning Herald provided a description of the old building….Half hidden by the overhanging trees planted long ago by Dean Selwyn, the peculiarities of this quaint old structure are hardly noticed. It was built of brick, the outer walls being covered with a kind of cement facing peculiar to many old buildings of that period. The foundations and walls are remarkably strong, while the interior is fairly roomy, and when new the house must have been considered palatial beside the humble dwellings which surrounded it. Originally a stone wall surrounded the entire space now devoted t the Asylum for the Insane, which was formerly the soldiers barracks, and a portion of this wall may still be seen near the police barracks at the corner of Watt and Church streets. …It is doubtful if another building like it exists in the State. In his design Captain Wallis appears to have remembered the old fashioned bow window, common enough in England, but rarely built now, and two of these were attempted but not faithfully imitated. Some fifteen years ago a substantial addition was made, consisting of a two stories building which stands at the back considerably enlarging the capacity of the dwelling. Today while the old structure is showing visible traces of decay particularly about the roof of the verandahs, there are ample evidences of faithful workmanship on the part of those engaged in its construction.
