Phaup's Beach Hotel (Former)

The former Phaup's Beach Hotel at 41 Twyford Street, Williamstown is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.

Historically, it is one of the oldest surviving hotels in Williamstown and one a small number of surviving examples that illustrate how hotels were interspersed throughout residential areas before changes to licensing laws resulted in many being closed between 1880 and 1910. (AHC criteria A4 and D2)

Aesthetically, although altered, it is an extremely rare example of a two-storey timber hotel, one of perhaps only two surviving in Victoria. Although altered, it still expresses its former commercial use by its siting on the property line and two storey scale. (AHC criteria B2 and E1)
