Statement of Significance
The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.
History:
The site now occupied by The Vine Hotel was originally the site of the Caledonian Hotel, for which the license was granted to Samuel Simpson in 1868. In 1870, its name was changed to the Eight Hours Hotel, and in 1875, to The Vine. By 1893, the hotel was owned by the West End Brewing Co., passing to the Carlton Brewing Co. in 1897. The hotel was demolished and replaced by the present building, which was originally owned by Carlton & United Breweries Ltd.
Description:
The Vine Hotel, 59 Wellington Street, Collingwood, is a double-storey Edwardian Hotel on the corner of Derby Street, with a gabled slate roof. The walls, originally red brick, and the rendered surfaces have all been painted. The ground floor has a series of semi-circular arched windows with brick voussoirs and rendered keystones. A small hemi-spherical domed tower rises above the splayed corner entrance; the circular openings immediately below the dome are embellished with grape vine decoration The scrolled gable end facing Wellington Street is bisected by a tall chimney stack with a moulded cap. The chimney breast at ground floor level is decorated with a scrolled pedimented panel bearing the words THE VINE HOTEL.
A rendered string course divides the storeys. Windows at first floor are rectangular double-hung sashes, with a rendered string course at sill level; the corner window retains its original leadlighting. A plain brick parapet surmounts the rendered first floor cornice.
Only part of the original terracotta ridge cresting to the slate roof remains. The appearance of the building has been marred by the painting of the face red brick surfaces.
Significance:
The Vine Hotel, 59 Wellington Street, Collingwood, is of local historical and architectural significance. Historically, the site has been occupied by a hotel since the 1860s. The Vine is a good example of an Edwardian hotel with a corner tower and Architecturally Nouveau details.

The Vine Hotel - Physical Description 1
A two storeyed classically inspired Edwardian Hotel with slated roof and terra cotta ridge tiles, painted brick walls and stucco dressings. Dominant elements include the domed oriel tower above the splayed corner entrance with grape vine decoration at the base and circular openings immediately below the dome. A decorative gable end is the dominant feature of the east elevation and has a central chimney motif carried to the ground floor level where it is terminated by a decorated panel with the words 'The Vine Hotel" in low relief.
Inside, the public areas have been altered, but the timber staircase remains. (Ward, 1995)
