Physical Description

History
When the first of the 32 Mukinbudin town lots were auctioned in 1922, H Hale (lawyer), EB Johnston (MLA) and Paddy Connolly (racehorse owner/hotelier) speculatively purchased several lots. The site of the hotel was where the 1923 New Years Eve inaugural Mukinbudin Sports meeting was held. In 1924, it was announced that they were to build a hotel at the cost of £8000, and put Mukinbudin on the map. Prior to the hotel, EB White had a bar at the rear of his store, selling non alcoholic beverages. The hotel owner, Paddy Connolly was generous to district needs. The 'Commercial room' was used by the doctor as a consulting room, as the boardroom for the Road Board meetings, and the first meeting of the CWA branch was held there in 1929, and the football club met there regularly until 1970.
