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 began in 1966 and finished in 1969, designed by the architectural firm Hartley Wilson & Partners. The building was demolished between 2017 and 2018 as part of the Parliament Square redevelopment project.
It symbolized Tasmania's governmental expansion during the second half of the 20th century. The elevated walkway connecting it to Parliament House became part of how people moved through the city's center.
The building no longer exists as it was demolished and the site became part of a newly redesigned public space. Visitors can come to the area to see how the precinct has been transformed.
It was directly connected to Parliament House through an elevated walkway, making it an integral part of government operations. This connection allowed officials to move between buildings without descending to street level.
