Architectural Walking Tour | Pure Georgian
cr. Macquarie St & Argyle St
BOOKINGS OPEN AT 10 AM ON THURSDAY, 19 OCTOBER 2023
Tours led by architect: Bronwen Jones
Hobart’s Old Colonial Georgian buildings are perhaps the finest of this era in Australia. The fact that so many have avoided destruction and survived virtually intact to this day is astonishing. Walk with architect Bronwen Jones and hear about the ideas behind these sandstone beauties and leave with a deeper understanding of just how special these small-scale buildings are in defining Hobart’s unique urban fabric.
Featured buildings – Ingle Hall, Treasury Complex and Public Buildings, and former warehouses on New Wharf, Salamanca Place.
Tours: Saturday 11 November + Sunday 12 November 2023, 11:05* am
Duration: 1 hour
Accessibility: Some steps and uneven surfaces
* On Saturday, 11 November, Open House Hobart asks everyone to observe a minute silence at 11 am for Remembrance Day.
