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.
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. Refer to 16.1 for more historical notes.
