Comments: Built by Joseph Patterson, on the south-east corner of Power St and Burwood Road, and managed by Patterson's son-in-law, Samuel Hanger. The hotel was named after Sir Robert Nickle - the commander-in-chief of the British forces in Australia at that time. It was the location of the first meeting of the Boroondara Road Board, on October 24 1856, and they continued to meet there until January 1857, when they moved meetings to the building adjacent to their office at 115 Burwood Road. The hotel was delicensed in 1920, and a bank was established there soon afterward.
