Penal colony for female convicts
The site of the Cascades Female Factory in Hobart, where women prisoners were incarcerated in the 19th century, is going to be redeveloped..
Snøhetta, in collaboration with Liminal Studio and Rush Wright Associates, has won a competition to design a new History and Interpretation Centre at the site in Tasmania.
The Cascades Female Factory is a UNESCO-recognised historically significant site. The penal colony for female convicts operated there for nearly 30 years, imprisoning more than 6,000 women.
