Statement of Significance

The building contributes positively to the streetscape of MacDonald Street with its verandah and balcony that extend over the pavement, and its masonry wall built to the building line. The enclosed balcony diminishes the aesthetic value of the facade.

Physical Description

: A single and two-storey building of stone frontage, brick upper floor and iron roof with a fully enclosed verandah now over-painted. The plinth, reveals and quoins are brick, and the pedimented parapet, sills and arched heads are rendered.

The building was designed in the Federation Free Classical style, c. 1890 - c. 1915, and built to the street alignment.

History

Documentary Evidence: General Comments: The role of hotels was crucial to the social and economic life on the goldfields. If mines were the sources of the miner's wages, the hotels were the sinks into which a lot of it was poured. Hotels not only provided alcoholic drinks, food and accommodation, but provided men with comfortable surroundings quite beyond their normal experience. Hotels were also vital social centres for travellers and residents alike (Webb, 1993: 543-544).
