Fodor's Expert Review Franklin House

Launceston Factory

Built in 1838 by noted a local businessman and brewer, who had once been a convict, this fine late-Georgian house is notable for its beautiful cedar architecture and collection of period English furniture, clocks, and fine china. The tea room serves light meals and refreshments and often hosts special events such as garden parties or High Tea.
