Statement of Significance

The place is unusual due to being constructed during the Depression. It demonstrates associations with leading identities of the period and represents a sense of place for generations of Miling people. It is a significant streetscape element and integral within the townscape and charcter of Miling.

Physical Description

The first floor verandah and lower collonnade are intact. The verandah features double column support detail and decorative bracket detail. The street level facade id rendereddd to dado height.

History

There was some local opposition to the hotel in Miling, but it proceeded, and was opened on 19th December 1934, in the middle of the Great Depression (in time for Christmas). Very little construction was taking place anywhere in Australia at that time. Paddy Connelly had the hotel built. He was a race horse owner and hotel entrepreneur of some repute (Narembeen Hotel 1923, Kalamunda Hotel 1927).
