MARONG FAMILY HOTEL - Physical Description 1
The Marong Family Hotel is located at the north-east corner of Adams Street (Calder Highway) and High Street (Alternative Calder Highway) in the Marong town centre, opposite Marong Shire Hall. It is a large, single-storey Federation-era structure of brick and stucco, with a horizontal massing. The hotel addresses both Adams Street to the south and High Street to the west, with a corner splay. The moulded parapet is prominent and ornamented, comprising finials and semicircular pediments with rising sun ornamentation in cast cement giving emphasis to the corner and ends of each street elevation. As built, sash windows to the south and west elevations were located between bands of render at dado height and surrounding the window tops. The windows to the west elevation and the westernmost window to the south elevation retain this form, with recessed moulded sills. Other window openings to the south elevation have been dropped almost to ground level and have plate glass windows, embossed with the 'mfh' logo. Original door openings to the south and west elevations also have render surrounds. The hipped roof form of the main hotel is clad with corrugated sheet steel, and falls to a central valley, oriented east-west. There are three rendered brick chimneys.
Since the 1990s the black tuckpointed red brick walls have been overpainted (pale/cream) to the south and west, and the timber post-supported verandah, including corner gable, re-roofed. The verandah has a ladder frame frieze. The rear (north) wall of the hotel is exposed brick. The open-sided gabled shelter to the rear (beer) garden also appears to be recent. There is no evidence of former stables (presumed to have been demolished). The internal public spaces have been altered and reconfigured.
Although beyond the site boundary, the horse trough (donated bv Anni and George Bill) and palm trees to the south contribute to the hotel's streetscape presence.
The Marong Family Hotel appears to be in sound condition.
