Tour Overview

A tour of Launceston’s architecture, from the 19th to the 21st centuries (Part B)

This is a walking tour in two parts of central Launceston's architecture, including buildings from the 19th to the 21st centuries. This is Part B (though you can do them in any order). The tour has been designed for architectural history students but others should find it interesting and enjoyable.

Acknowledgements to information checked with previous surveys of Launceston architecture, notably M & R Morris-Nunn/Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery's Twentieth Century Architecture in Launceston (1985), and Stuart King/University of Tasmania's Victorian, Federation and Interwar Launceston Walking Tours (2015).
