  Tarban Creek Asylum first opened in 1838 when patients were transferred from Liverpool Asylum and the Female factory. A later building was erected in 1852. The asylum later became known as the Gladesville Hospital for the Insane. It was the colony's first purpose built psychiatric asylum. Source: notes on ML file
