The fmr Emerald Hotel has considerable historic significance as the first licenced wayside inn in Yalgoo.
Located diagonally opposite the Dominican Convent Chapel on Henty Street. Ruins of a random rubble stone building, the walls of which stand approx l-2m high. A chimney is located on the east elevation and there is evidence of a small timber framed window. Originally the building hada couple of galvanised iron rooms which had been added by Carl Edward. There is some brickwork which could indicate that repairs or alterations have been undertaken to the fabric. The building originally had a verandah.
The Emerald Hotel, built in 1893, was Yalgoo's first licenced wayside inn. Licenced in the name of Tobin and Bowes in the same year, it was a stone building with an iron roof. In 1894 the licence was transferred to Arthur Hanlon. When the town was eventually surveyed in 1895 the hotel, and the store which the proprietors also ran, was outside the town boundary and hence, was not included on the survey map. On 12 August, 1896 Hanlon closed the Emerald Hotel and opened his new hotel situated on the corner of Gibbons and Queen Streets. The licence and name of the original Emerald Hotel were transferred to this new hotel, which is the site of the present Railway Hotel, Yalgoo's only remaining hotel.
