The entry building is constructed of red face bricks, and presents a blank wall to the carpark entry side.
The idea of a swimming pool in Hyden was first mooted in 1953, when the weir swimming facility was not adequate. A reticulated water supply to Hyden had been declined, and it wasn't until after the hotel was established and thriving, that the issue of a water supply was addressed seriously. In 1973, C Radbourne put the motion to Kondinin Shire Council for the provision of a pool in Hyden, but the motion was seconded. However, B Mouritz amended the motion to include; 1. railway land; 2. water authority connection; 3 1/3 cost of finance, and the motion was passed on the amendment. The $6000 hotel loan money was subsequently used for a pool, with the money being used for the provision of the water supply. In 1975, excavations for the pool began, with construction taking place in 1976, and Charles Court finally opening the pool in February 1978.
