Statement of Significance

The Murchison Club is important to the Classified Precinct because of its dominant position and mass, also its function as the remaining hotel still trading. Its timber verandahs on the two street facades are in keeping with the architecture of the rest of the street. At the corner junction of the verandahs on each facade is a diagonally placed gable which emphasises the corner position of the building and adds much to the success of the streetscape.

Physical Description

Substantial two storey hotel of brick construction with timber balustraded verandahs on each street facade. The roof is of corrugated galvanised iron.
