Hobart's architecture is stylistically eclectic and reflects various periods of Australian history. The city is known for its well-preserved [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] and [[Victorian architecture|Victorian-era]] buildings, giving specific areas an "[[old world]]" feel.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Content-Area Vocabulary Strategies for Language Arts |year=2002 |publisher=Walch Publishing |page=39 |isbn=0-82514337-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://architecthobart.com.au/ |title=History Section |date=2017 |website=Hobart Architect Blog |access-date=21 October 2020 |archive-date=23 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201023035331/https://architecthobart.com.au/ |url-status=live }}</ref> For locals, this became a source of discomfiture about the city's convict past, but is now a draw card for tourists.<ref>Clark, J.

The city centre contains many of the city's oldest buildings, including the [[Hope and Anchor Tavern]] (1807) and [[Ingle Hall]] (1811–14). The [[Cascade Brewery]] (1824), Australia's longest operating brewery, was built using convict labour, as was the [[Cascades Female Factory]] (1828), now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other notable early buildings include: [[c:File:Thursday, October 26, 2017 - 26644747109.jpg|Hadley's Orient Hotel]] (1834), Australia's oldest continuously operating hotel; the [[Theatre Royal, Hobart|Theatre Royal]] (1837), Australia's oldest continually operating theatre; the [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek revival]] [[Lady Franklin Gallery]] (1843), Australia's first private museum; and the [[Hobart Synagogue]] (1845), which is Australia's [[Oldest synagogues in the world|oldest synagogue]] and a rare example of an [[Egyptian revival]] synagogue. [[Salamanca Place]] contains many Georgian era buildings, as well as [[Kelly's Steps]], which were built in 1839 to provide a short-cut to [[Battery Point]], a largely residential suburb known for its weatherboard cottages and multi-storey terraces.

Government architect [[John Lee Archer]] designed the [[Regency architecture|Regency]]-style [[Parliament House, Hobart|Customs House]] (1840), facing [[Sullivans Cove]] and now used as Parliament House. He also designed the [[Gothic revival]] Engineers Building (1847) later used as the [[Tasmanian Main Line Company]] headquarters. Nearby are more buildings in the same style, Australia's [[Christ College (University of Tasmania)|oldest tertiary institution]] was based in the former Hobart High School from 1848 (Domain House, now owned by UTAS),<ref>{{cite web |title=Domain House |url=https://www.utas.edu.au/infrastructure-services-development/building-works/projects/domain-house |website=UTAS |access-date=25 June 2024}}</ref> and the [[Government House, Hobart|Government House]] building was built in 1857 and is the [[Old Government House, Hobart|third iteration]].

The [[TMAG]] building, built in 1902 as a new [[Second Empire style]] Customs House, is situated on [[Constitution Dock]] and incorporates the Bond (1824) and [[c:File:Commissariat Store Hobart 20171119-025.jpg|Commisariat Store buildings]] (1810), the latter of which contributed to Hobart's early street layout when the [[Hobart Rivulet]] passed beside it. Away from the mouth of the rivulet was Hunter Island and after 1820 was also used for extensive warehousing.

Hobart is home to many historic churches. The Scots Church (formerly known as St Andrew's) was built in [[Bathurst Street, Hobart|Bathurst Street]] from 1834 to 1836, and a small sandstone building within the churchyard was used as the city's first Presbyterian Church.
