Statement of Significance

The site of the Locomotive Hotel has social and historic significance as one of the hotels that existed in Yalgoo.

History

The Locomotive Hotel was only in operation for a very short time. Mid 1896 Walter Harrison obtained permission to erect a building at the Yalgoo siding from where he sold liquor one hour before and after each passenger train. The licence was cancelled in 1898 and transferred to the new railway refreshment rooms which Harrison ran in conjunction with the new Emerald Hotel until cl902. (A. Palmer, p.54)
