Governor Hotham Hotel c.1861 

 

Comments: Built in 1854-55, on the corner of William Street and Burwood Road, and designed by the prominent Melbourne architectural firm of Knight, Kemp and Kerr. It was licensed in 1855 to the owner, John Conran, who was one of the councillors elected to the first Hawthorn Council in 1860.

 

With the extension of the Hawthorn railway to Glenferrie and Auburn, the hotel was in a good position to benefit from railway customers' patronage. It was extended in 1883, and has since been remodelled and renamed the Hawthorn Hotel.
