History

The hotel was designed by Kenwood and Kerle and built by contractors McDonald Brothers at a cost of £3,078 for landlord George Croft. William Tory Dickson, formerly the proprietor of the New Brighton Hotel at Lady Robinsons Beach, became the first licensee. The hotel featured a "public bar, several parlours, dining room, billiard room, and 28 bedrooms". It was licensed on 28 September 1889. [2] [3] [4] The Sydney Mail praised its "colossal proportions and replete appointments". [3]

It closed on 1 April 1976, but was bought and restored by a new owner and reopened in January 1984. The name of the hotel was changed to the Heritage Hotel on 8 August 2000. [4]

Description

The Heritage Hotel is a Victorian Filigree boom style, 3 storey corner hotel building with verandahs, dormers and a central tower with iron lace. [1]

Heritage listing

The hotel is a key townscape element and part of the Bulli streetscape. It is a fine and unusual example of this period in this area which reflects changes wrought in Bulli by coming of the railway; South of Old Bulli. It has a high level of architectural significance as one of the best examples of this type of Victorian period hotel in Australia. [1]

Family Hotel was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999, having been found to have historic, landmark, architectural, townscape, cultural and social value, and to be both rare and representative. [1]
