Architects: Henry Colman Kesterton (1834), John Castles Architect (1978), Paul Johnston Architects and Heritage Consultants (2023)

Built for Henry Colman Kesterton in the gardened district of New Town, ‘Cliefden’ is a lovely example of a Colonial Georgian building. The stables have recently been redeveloped by the Police Association of Tasmania, who are celebrating their centenary this year. 

Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders - past, present and emerging.
