Devonshire Arms Hotel

Location 38 Fitzroy Street,, FITZROY VIC 3065 - Property No B4711 File Number B4711 Level State

[1/1] B4711 Former Devonshire Arms

Statement of Significance

Melbourne's oldest known hotel, licenced in 1843, and oldest known shop, both completed to substantially the present form before 1848 and retaining such early features as the shingle roof, wrought iron gutter brackets and original hotel sign on the side wall: in particular the typical corner hotel doorway flanked by large bar windows under timber bressummers well typifies this almost extinct building form.
