This paper presents the results of the detailed physical and structural assessment of one of Australia's oldest significant timber framed building: the four level, post and beam framed Hobart Bond Store building built between 1824-26. It describes both the timber milling and likely construction techniques used in the building's construction, illustrates the successes and failures of historic design and assembly methods, and provides guidance for those charged with preserving and renovating building of this type into the future.
