History
The McLarty family built the Premier Hotel, transferring their licence from the Pinjarra Arms
(at Blythewood).
The licence at the Pinjarra Arms (Blythewood) was kept up until the railway went through in
the early 1890s. Duncan McLarty became the licensee in 1894, and three months later he
moved to the Premier Hotel, newly completed and opposite the railway station in Pinjarra.
Early in 1895 Duncan transferred the licence to Edward Reynolds, who had previously been
running the Exchange Hotel over the river in the older part of town.
In 1972, there was replacement of rear stairway, and new male and female toilets. A drivein
bottle shop was added in 1990, and a garage on south side of hotel in 1993.
In 2000, the original Lot 16 was subdivided into two lots, split by a drainage easement.
The outdoor area was upgraded in 2003, with extensions to the bottle shop in 2004.
In 2009-10, the bottle shop was further extended and drive-in relocated.
