Low rise building constructed in a U shape.
Parkside Hotel was built in 1960. It replaced a row of six almost identical houses at Nos. 148, 150, 152, 154, 156 and 158 Bennett Street, and a single building at No. 160, that was on the corner of Bennett and Wickham Streets with no set back. It is a two-storey motel complex, with parking at the rear, surrounded by three wings of rooms in a C-shape. Built opposite Wellington Square it was named Parkside. It is now Bailey’s Hotel Motel. There is a restaurant 'Bellavista' that addresses the corner. The place is opposite Wellington Square, a Registered Aboriginal Site (ID 37452), also called the Old Recreation Reserve, Bunjie Park.
