10 Murray Street, Government office building in Hobart, Australia

10 Murray Street was a 14-story government office building in Hobart made of reinforced concrete. The structure contained three ground-floor levels, ten office floors, and an upper level for mechanical systems with a caretaker's office.

Construction of the State Offices began in July 1966 and was completed in 1969. Architect Dirk Bolt prepared the design, but after he left Tasmania that year, David Hartley Wilson modified it and saw the project through. The building was demolished floor by floor from September 2017 to August 2018, producing around 20,000 tonnes of crushed concrete.

Locals nicknamed the gridded concrete tower "the milk crate". When demolition loomed, the Save 10 Murray group, led by filmmaker Briony Kidd, staged the 2010 exhibition Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood inside the building, showing A4-sized creative responses to its architecture.

The tower was dismantled floor by floor from September 2017 and gone by August 2018, so nothing of it remains above ground. The cleared site now forms part of the Parliament Square precinct, with a new public square on the Murray Street side and shops and cafes facing Salamanca Place.

The building's gridded concrete frame earned it the local nickname "the milk crate". When the Save 10 Murray group campaigned against demolition, its 2010 exhibition Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood displayed A4-sized artworks in a grid that echoed this nickname.
