Physical Description

History
During 1883, Harry Sherry Senr., secured a special occupational lease 2507, containing 200 acres. The hotel now stands on a portion of this block. Nearby is evidence of a grave said to be that of one of his children. (1)
When the Lyndhurst Arms Hotel closed between 1897/1900, Henry Sherry jnr. immediately
constructed a premises out of mud brick and was issued with a Wayside License on 3 December 1900. (2)
The next licensee was Ben Libby who was followed by Mrs Eliza Farmer. It was while Mrs Farmer was licensee around 1907/08 that a building of burnt bricks was first erected. This structure was later incorporated into a new building erected by Frank Morgan during 1926-27.
George Lowe held the license in May 1910 and in August 1911, Charles Simms purchased the
freehold of 200 acres of land which included the Quindanning Hotel. (3) Simms had previously
had the Federal Hotel in Wagin (1905-1906) (4) and the Mount Pleasant Inn at Arthur River in
1908. (5)
