Survey Hotel c.1910 from corner of Burke and Whitehorse Roads.

Comments: In 1865, John Day applied for a license for "Day's Survey Hotel". According to the application, the building contained two sitting rooms and two bedrooms, as well as the accommodation for his own family. In the early 1900s, the hotel was a popular meeting place for the Melbourne Harriers Club, and was used as the starting point for the Kew Flyer 10km road race. The hotel closed following the local option poll in 1920. The owner at that time was Robert Dehnert - also the owner of the Brickmaker's Arms Hotel (later the Terminus Hotel) in Abbotsford. The building was listed as for sale in 1922, near what is now the Holeproof Factory, established in the 1940s.
