Hotel dating from the period of commercial expansion in Perth following the gold rush of the 1890's. At this period a large number of hotels or 'pubs' were built in Perth, on the outskirts of the city and in country towns. They provided accommodation and refreshment to travellers and the increasing number of immigrants arriving in the state, including the large proportion of working men from Victoria. Typically the hotel was constructed on a corner with entrance to the public bar addressing the corner and the entrance for residents on one of the streets. There was often a tower or other feature on the corner and a verandah with elaborate cast iron decoration along the street facades. (Extracted from M. Pitt Morrison and J. White in C.T. Stannage, A New History of Western Australia; U.W.A. 1981)
