The Engine House on Maria Island, Tasmania, stands as a testament to the island's industrial heritage. Constructed in the late 1880s by Diego Bernacchi, it was designed to house machinery that powered various industries, including brick making, lime manufacturing, cement production, and timber cutting. The building's robust design, featuring vaulted ceilings and buttressed walls, reflects its purpose to support heavy machinery. Surrounding the Engine House are remnants of brick-making operations, clay pits, reservoirs, and railway lines, offering a glimpse into the island's industrious past.
