Statement of Significance

The Warburton Hotel has high local significance as one of the district's oldest remaining hotels, located on its present site from 1885 and (it is said) on an earlier site at Old Warburton from about 1864. Buller's Hotel was on the Cobb and Co. coaching route between Warburton and Lilydale. The hotel has historic significance for its associations with E.J. Buller, first owner of the hotel and prominent district resident, first Upper Yarra Shire President in 1888 and Shire Councillor for many years until his death in 1908.
