Statement of Significance

Some of the stone for the building came from ship's ballast. In 1925 the hotel license ceased and the building
was bought by Mr Hiller of Metropolitan Hotel from Mrs Sorenson for 700 pounds.
Corrugated iron from Hopetoun Cannery was used for extensions 3t the back of the hotel in about 1950. The
original single storey section was rebuilt in 1967 in brick which is the present bar. Verandah replaced 1990.
The hotel stilt operates today.

Physical Description

In 1901 the original single storey building was built in timber frame and corrugated iron. In 1907 an
additional two storey was built on the north side with entrance hall, commercial room, large dining roam,
sitting room, ten bedrooms and kitchen with accessories.
