The Carlisle Hotel has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • The place has aesthetic value as a prominent two storey Inter War building that is sited on a corner lot, adjacent to the railway; and • The place has historic and social value having supplied a popular service to the Carlisle community and visitors.
The Carlisle Hotel, located at 168 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle, is a two storey brick and clay tile hotel building on a corner lot located in a commercial zone. The immediate area surrounding the hotel is characterised by a mixture of predominately single storey residential buildings of federation/inter war bungalows and cottages, medium density developments, a retail strip (Archer Street), a community centre and a nearby school. The Carlisle Train Station is located opposite the Hotel on Rutland Street. The Hotel building has painted brick and painted rendered walls, a hipped clay tile roof and a mixture of aluminium and original timber framed windows. The building is accessed from, a main entry door to the bistro and bar to the south façade; a secondary door to the bistro and bar on the north façade; the TAB entry or the door that connects the north-west carpark to the TAB side. There is a balcony facing Rutland Avenue and a small balcony, which appears to be original fabric, facing Wakefield Street on the east façade.
The Carlisle Hotel was opened in 1940 and included a public bar and hotel lounge. Carlisle’s Lounge was described as the following on its opening night in 1940: …colour scheme which has been carefully carried out until all appointments of the large room match and contribute to the final effect of restful comfort. The furniture, upholstered in the dark red leather is unobtrusively modern. There is a plethora of glass topped tables and the walls are of apricot and cream textures. Draped curtains play their part to the full, and scrupulous attention has been paid to the blending doors, architraves and apple green finished skirtings. (Time Gentleman p.144) In 1942 the licensee of the Carlisle Hotel was Mr. Flohm. When Mr. Flohm volunteered for War service, his wife, Mrs. Dot Flohm, ran the Hotel. Mrs. Flohm retired from the Carlisle Hotel in 1974. Subsequent owners were Norm Parnum and Mal Atwell.
