Government House, Hobart, Victorian Gothic residence in Queens Domain, Hobart, Australia.
The sandstone Government House contains 73 rooms and extends across a 15-hectare estate overlooking the Derwent River and Hobart city center.
Colonial architect William Porden Kay designed this building, which was constructed between 1853 and 1857 to replace two previous government residences.
The residence maintains regular ceremonial functions, receptions, and dinners while preserving original furniture and decorative elements from the 1850s.
Visitors can access the State Rooms during annual open days, exploring collections of silverware, heritage furniture, and historical displays without reservations.
The building incorporates recycled timber from an old ship and Welsh slate, while its ornamental pools originated from construction excavation sites.
