Statement of Significance
The site of the Commercial Hotel has social and historic significance as one of the hotels that existed in Yalgoo.
History
A provisional licence was issued to William Algernon Viscount Avonmore for the erection of a hotel on town lot 65 in May, 1896. Other proprietors of the Yalgoo Hotel, as it was originally known, have included Charles Rodan until 1913 and then John Clark. cl927 the Yalgoo Hotel Syndicate took over the hotel which was then renamed the Yalgoo Hotel. Building materials were much sought after following World War II and in 1947 the hotel was partly dismantled and taken to Agnew. A few years later the bricks in the chimneys and foundations were salvaged and the block has since been vacant. (A. Palmer, p.53)
