| Abstract |
While the huge lunatic asylums of the nineteenth century housed the drunken and homeless within ‘lunacy’, it wasn’t until the early twentieth century that an architecture was developed in specific response to the colony’s problem of inebriety. Authorised by the passing of the 1907 Inebriates Act, two ‘Homes for Inebriates’ were constituted on islands in the Hauraki Gulf, some twenty miles from the city of Auckland. The first ‘home’ on Pakatoa Island made use of existing farm buildings and was gazetted as an ‘institution’ under the Act in 1908. The second of the two homes, the subject of this paper, was built in 1910 for the purpose of treating inebriates. It adopted a very different architectural model for this treatment than had been practiced in the asylums.
