« Prev Item Next Item »

Overview

It is a solid, two-storey building of mainly Victorian Italianate design with an arched entrance above which is a square tower. The roof has a parapet featuring balusters and cast urns. The simple verandah and balcony on the right contrasts with the more ornate on the left and may be an addition. On the left is the sign [THE BRIGHTON HOT] and on the lounge windows on the right are advertisements for stout and bitter. Parked in front of the hotel are a large sedan and a two-seater tourer with dickie seat and spare tyre at the rear.
