Old Government House, Hobart, Official residence in Hobart, Australia

Old Government House was the Governor of Tasmania's residence from 1807 to 1858, built between 1805 and 1810 on the ground now occupied by Hobart Town Hall and Franklin Square. No trace of the house survives; the site is marked today by the Town Hall and the Franklin monument.

Old Government House was built between 1805 and 1810, with sources giving varying dates, and served as the Governor of Tasmania's residence until 1858. In 1831 it housed the Tasmanian Parliament and hosted meetings of the Tasmanian Society, a precursor to the Royal Society of Tasmania. Parliament moved to the modern Parliament House in 1841, and the old house was demolished after the new Government House on the Queens Domain was completed.

The house gave its name to the ground it stood on: the site was reserved for a new town hall and a Franklin monument, both later built there. Hobart Town Hall and Franklin Square now occupy the spot, so the former governor's residence survives only in street layout and records.

Nothing of the house survives: it stood where Hobart Town Hall and Franklin Square are now, between Macquarie and Davey Streets in central Hobart. Walk the square to see the Franklin monument and the Town Hall that replaced it. The site is open public ground, reachable on foot from the waterfront.

The house stood roughly where Hobart Town Hall and Franklin Square now are; the site was reserved for the new town hall and a Franklin monument before demolition. Both were later built there and still stand. In 1831 the building also housed the Tasmanian Parliament and hosted the Tasmanian Society, forerunner of the Royal Society of Tasmania.
