Forestry Building, Hobart

The Forestry Building is a heritage-listed complex located in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania, at 79–93 Melville Street. Originally established as the offices and workshop of the successful Crisp & Gunn timber merchants in the early 20th century, the complex features a striking dome designed to showcase timber products.

The building's rich history, architectural significance, and ongoing redevelopment make it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers alike.
