Originally designed by famous convict architect John Lee Archer as a customs house, this large sandstone two-storey building was constructed using convict labour between 1835 and 1840. After self-governance was granted to Tasmania in 1856, the building was modified to suit parliamentary use. The lower floor now houses an historical museum and interesting historical documents are available for viewing. Visitors should note the grand central entrance surmounted by a parapet with a pretty cornice and the stonework coat of arms and enjoy a walk amongst 150-year-old majestic oak trees.
