Cascades Female Factory
The Cascades Female Factory, a former Australian workhouse for female convicts in the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, is located in Hobart, Tasmania. Operational between 1828 and 1856, the factory is now one of the 11 sites that collectively comprise the Australian Convict Sites, listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.
Collectively the Australian Convict Sites represent an exceptional example of the forced migration of convicts and an extraordinary example of global developments associated with punishment and reform. Representing the female experience, the Cascades Female Factory demonstrates how penal transportation was used to expand Britain's spheres of influence, as well as to punish and reform female convicts.
Now operational as a museum and tourist attraction, the site is managed by the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority.
History.
The Cascades Female Factory was purpose-built in 1828 and operated as a convict facility until 1856. It was intended to remove women convicts from the negative influences and temptations of Hobart, and also to protect society from what was seen as their immorality and corrupting influence. The Factory was located, however, in an area of damp swamp land, and with overcrowding, poor sanitation and inadequate food and clothes, there was a high rate of disease and mortality among its inmates.
The Cascades Female Factory is the only remaining female factory with extant remains which give a sense of what female factories were like. It is included on the Australian National Heritage List. It was inscribed on the World Heritage list in July 2010, along with ten other Australian convict sites.
Today the Cascades Female Factory Historic Site comprises three of the original five yards. It is open every day (except Christmas) and offers a range of tours.

From Wikipedia:
Wallis, Gilbert and Partners was a British architectural partnership responsible for the design of many Art Deco buildings in the UK in the 1920s and 1930s. It was established by Thomas Wallis (1873-1953) in 1914. Although the identity of Gilbert has not been established, later partners included Douglas Wallis (1901-68) and J. W. MacGregor (d.1994). Their best known buildings are probably the Hoover Factory and the Firestone Tyre Factory, but they have an extensive portfolio of buildings in their trademark design style.
The 'Alaska' factory was processing seal, opened in 1869 it had 'shavers, blubberers, fleshers, dyers, tubbers and top-hatted wing-collared aproned craftsmen'. The 'current' building is a mix of 1930s work and later extension and bomb repair in the 50's.
