Hallam's Road Hotel at 241-245 Princes Highway, Hallam.
How is it significant?
Hallam's Road Hotel is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the City of Casey.
Why is it significant?
Historically and socially, Hallam's Road Hotel, located on a dominant site on the corner of Hallam Road and the Princes Highway, has high local significance as a focus for district community life for over a century. It has historical importance for its associations with the Hallam family, first licensees in 1872, who gave their name to the Hotel, the district and the railway station, and with the farming families, race goers, travellers and gold seekers who flocked to the hotel during its early years.
Aesthetically, its architectural importance has been reduced due to alterations to the interior and exterior of the building, which make it difficult to identify stages of development. However, it has strong landmark qualities.
