Statement of Significance

Healesville Hotel has high local significance as a c1912 hotel, constructed on the site of an earlier 1860 hotel. It is one of three major early hotels remaining from the period when Healesville was developing from a bush hamlet to an important Shire township. The Healesville Hotel has associations with the Walker family, who came to the district in the 1860s, and particularly with Jane Walker, who was responsible for rebuilding the old hotel. The Walkers are remembered in the naming of Walker's Lane and Walker Street. The Hotel is a prominent landmark within the main street of Healesville and is likely to be of considerable social significance for the Healesville community.
