Statement of Significance
Architecturally significant as a surviving element, close to its original character, in the Bayley Street streetscape. Important in the definition of the historic Bayley Street precinct.
Physical Description
A simple two storied brick corner hotel with a two storeyed verandah and corrugated iron roof, originally built as a bonded store and later converted and extended as an hotel. The exterior is fairly authentic but the interior has been compromised by a series of alterations and additions and the removal of the bars. The hotel was de-licenced in the 1960s.
History
A representative type of hotel in a relatively unchanged state from the main period of Coolgardie's development when 26 hotels operated in the town.
