History

The Pemberton Hotel was built C1924 in the main street of Pemberton.
It is a good example of a hotel in a country town dating from the period
of rural expansion in the 1920s when hotels were often the most
substantial buildings in the district and were a focus of community life.
It is one of a number of significant heritage buildings in Brockman
Street, the main street in Pemberton. The hotel has been and still is a
focus of community life for the town and the district.
