Appraisal
This former railway hotel occupies a notable corner site in the streetscape. The elaborate eaves course is an immediately notable feature of the building, and it retains decorative tiles and corbels. The building retains many well executed original features and materials, such as the slate roofs, ridge cresting and finials, timber sash windows and render architraves. This former railway hotel forms part of a group with the former station and warehouse to the north-east.
