Statement of Significance
This prominent corner location ensures the place is a dominant townscape feature.
Representative of Midland's second phase of developing following the relocation of the Government Workshops to Midland in 1904.
Physical Description
Two-storey brick and tile building with cement render banding above the windows. Original two-storey verandah now removed. The hotel lost its belvedere during the Meckering earthquake. A large adjoining building now demolished was used as a roller skating rink and picture theatre. The hotel occupies a corner block at the junction of Helena and Great Eastern Highway. In the late 1980s the hotel was renovated and refurbished.
History
The former Midland Railway Company's workshops were located directly opposite the hotel. The MR Company's railway route through Midland Junction took it diagonally across Main York Road (Great Eastern Highway) between the Freemason's Hotel as it was known and the Midland Post Office. The former MR Company's land is now occupied by the 'Centrepoint Shopping Centre'.
