The Treasury and Finance complex comprises of eight buildings that are regarded as the most significant in Tasmania’s administrative history. The buildings include the oldest Supreme Court in Australia, which was built in 1824.
Over the following century another seven buildings were constructed, including the Police and Convict Office in 1835 and Public Offices in 1841, both of which were designed by colonial architect John Lee Archer. The latter, constructed by convict James Blackburn, was the first public building to house the Treasurer of van Diemen’s Land. The complex has also housed offices for the Attorney-General, the Chief Justice, the Premier and various government ministers.

![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.
