Physical Description

Burned down in 1990. Predominantly a two storey brick and iron building, 'U' shaped plan, originally with two storey verandah facing onto Helena Street. The building had two sets of stairs, one internally at the southern end of the building and an external stair on the east side of the building accessed off a two storey verandah.

History

The hotel was one of the many built at the turn of the 20th century in response to the growth of population associated with the arrival of the railways. It was indicative of the confidence in the future of Midland as a commercial centre.
