Statement of Significance

The two gas lamps outside Craig's hotel, Ballarat, probably erected in the 1890s, are constructed in cast iron and glass with the name "Craig's Royal Hotel" incorporated into the design.

The gas lamps demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship in decoration through their elaborate metalwork and finials in the form of crowns.

The gas lamps are intact and rare examples of privately funded lighting erected in a public thoroughfare.

The gas lamps have a strong relationship with Craig's Hotel, a hotel of great architectural and historical significance.
