Statement of Significance

Jandakot Hotel (fmr) has social significance as a former hotel which retains some of the original fabric.

Physical Description

Jandakot Hotel, later converted to a private residence, is situated on a large block of land near the railway line.
The original entrance, angled across the front corner, was a distinctive characteristic of the turn of the century hotel. A verandah, under separate corrugated iron roof, is supported by mortared brick pillars with solid balustrading.
The place has undergone substantial modifications, but still appears to retain sufficient original characteristics on the external facade to allow interpretation of its earlier function.
Further work was being undertaken in 2010 during a site visit.

History

The original Jandakot Hotel was built in 1901 by Walter Lawrence who was also licensee. After fire destroyed the place in 1909 the current building was constructed. It is constructed of pressed brick made by Riley of Armadale.
Near the hotel was the Jandakot racecourse which attracted many patrons to the hotel. Between 1909 and 1938 the hotel had many owners, including Hartley, Alf Gillam, a lady named Baldwin and John Visser who sold the property to Mr and Mrs Lucken in 1938.
The verandah was damaged in a storm and has been replaced with modern materials. The Luckens used the property as a private residence with a small grocery shop where the bar used to be.
