Summary
| Description |
English: The Seaview Hotel was famous during World War II as an Australian Officers' Mess. The oldest part of the present building was designed by Townsville architect Joe Rooney in 1929, and it is one of very few remaining masonry hotels that were built in Townsville in the first half of the 20th century. It replaced the old timber hotel, built by Joe Rooney's ancestors in 1889, which was destroyed by fire.
In the 19th century it was fashionable to build villa residences overlooking the sea along this part of the Strand. None of them survived, but the name of one, 'Seaview House', probably inspired the naming of the hotel. www.townsville.qld.gov.au/recreation/parks/strand/strandl... |
