A splendid, elaborately decorated building of critical importance in the Bayley Street precinct because it survived the devastation of this street and stands as an example of the opulence and confidence of Coolgardie around 1900.
A two storey brick building with an elaborate stuccoed facade. The ground floor consists of squat Corinthian pilasters and elaborate flat arches. The upper floor has a deeply arcaded verandah with a central arch and smaller flanking openings with architraves to the piers and free floating pediments over. The parapet is decorated with blind arches, balusters and stout crockets.
The hotel with its elaborate design which complemented its hospitality role was an ambitious, permanent structure demonstrating the great confidence in the town's future at the turn of the century. It remained in operation until 1927.
