Welcome to the Queen Mary Club, Hobart

History

The Queen Mary Club of Hobart was formed as a residential Social Club for Ladies on July 1^st 1910 at 143 Macquarie Street. The building was formerly The Bank of Australasia. The 100 members leased the premises from Hotelier Mr Hadley for 200 pounds per annum. The name “Queen Mary” was granted by Royal Charter. Unfortunately there are no records of the first 19 years of the Club’s existence, the first recorded minutes being dated December 4^th 1929. In 1935 the building was bought from the Hadley estate for 3,500 pounds.

The Heritage building was designed by prominent colonial architect Mr James Blackburn and was built in 1843. An award was received in 1964 as it was deemed to be the best restored and preserved building on the National Trust Register.
