Statement of Significance

The chaste Victorian Classical Revival architectural character is important, notwithstanding the loss of the original verandahs over the pavement. Of greater significance is the contribution the building makes to the Victorian streetscape of the west end of the city and in particular in relation to the Town Hall opposite and to the Commercial Premises which extend around the corner and into High St. A building whose very presence reinforces the surviving Victorian character of the very centre of the city where Town Hall, Church and Commercial premises combine to produce a significant and cohesive townscape.

Physical Description

A large three storied hotel building constructed in 1887 in stuccoed brick work.
