Architect: Edward Winch (1830s)
Narryna is an 1830s merchant’s house and collection of historical items that tells the story of early colonial life in Hobart. The fine Georgian town house was built by seafarer Captain Andrew Haig who also built warehouses facing Salamanca Place in 1834. Narryna has had an adventurous life as a home to large families, a boarding house, hospital and now a museum.
Step into Narryna for a rich experience of Tasmania’s social history, art and design traditions.

![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.
