The Commercial Hotel has been the hostelry for more than a century with accommodation for 10 bedrooms and catering facilities and must have been a welcome stopover for many weary travellers. It is the only hotel remaining in Mingenew today.
The two-storey brick and iron building occupies a prominent corner position in the main street of Mingenew, opposite the railway station. Modifications: Verandas and balconies removed 1970s. Some second storey timber windows replaced with aluminium.
The present Commercial Hotel commenced operations as a single storey mud brick building owned by Samuel James Philips and operated by William Henry Linthome. The front portion of the original hotel was subsequently replaced by a double storeyed brick building after 1908.
Integrity: The main structural elements of the building are intact, without significant additions and despite removal of balconies.
