English novelist Anthony Trollope once wrote that Tasmania should make jam for all the world. Henry Jones did just that, and now his iconic IXL jam factory is a world class hotel that marries 19th century industrial design with contemporary architecture and an impressive collection of Tasmanian art.
The hotel is part of a unified group of nine connected, mainly three-storey, stone warehouses with roofs, constructed from 1826 onwards. Features include arched goods entries and Georgian-style windows. Edwardian buildings comprise two cold stores and six-bay warehouse. Located in the Hunter Street precinct, the hotel blends modernity with an industrial past. Previously, the buildings housed warehouses, barracks, hotels, and a slum.
Join us for a guided tour with the wonderful storytellers at The Henry Jones Art Hotel and take a step through the past and present history of this unique site.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
