Physical Description

The Manjimup Hotel is a two storey building set close to the road
in Giblett St. It is one of the major buildings in the Giblett St
Commercial precinct. The hotel has had a few different
developmental changes. When originally built in c1912 it reflected
typical architectural style of hotels in the rural areas throughout the
south-west. However, in c1930s the hotel was ‘modernised’ and
the façade was changed dramatically. Despite another one million
dollar investment by the Swan Brewery in 1970 the hotel still
mostly has the character of a 1930s building.
The hotel is a large rectangular brick building with a veranda
shading the central third of the façade. The veranda is not very
wide and has double verandah posts made of metal. There is a
band of cream painted bricks separating the bottom from the top
storey. The windows are a combination of 1930s style wooden
framed windows and modern aluminium windows. The tall brick
chimneys still visible from the road can be attributed to the original
1912 construction.

History

The Manjimup Hotel was built in c1912, one of the first buildings
in the fledgling town of Manjimup. Also one of the first
commercial buildings that now form the Giblett St Commercial
Precinct. The hotel was changed quite dramatically in the 1930s.
Then in 1970 the Swan Brewery spent one million dollars in
modernizing the hotel.
The owner in 2005 John Peos purchased the hotel in 1984. It is still
a centre of social activity for the Manjimup District.
