History

[edit]

Built in 1882 at the south end of Macquarie Street, just when the town's northward shift began.[1]

In 2018, the building continues in use as the Milestone Hotel.[2]

Description

[edit]

The site is on the south-western corner of the intersection of Macquarie and Bultje Streets. The hotel building occupies the eastern portion of the site with a customer and staff car park to the rear. A deciduous tree is immediately outside the Macquarie Street facade near the corner.[1]

The hotel is a freestanding one and two-storey late Victorian Italianate style hotel, made of brick, painted, with a hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. A single storey verandah roof extends over the footpath on the Macquarie Street elevation and partly along the north side on Bultje Street. Windows and doors are timber-framed and of recent construction.[3]: 2  The building is significant as a good example of a late 19th century Victorian Italianate style hotel.[1][3]: 3
