Statement of Significance
Railway Hotel, former Stacey's Hotel, is significant to Cardinia Shire, as a building that has functioned as an important district hotel from its grand opening in October 1924. It has significance, too, as an example of the work of Joseph Berry, the local bricklayer who built a number of district hotels as well as St Joseph's Catholic School at Iona. The Railway Hotel also has associations with Thomas Stacey, hotelkeeper, who came to Bunyip in 1890 and ran an earlier Railway Hotel on the site, destroyed by fire. The present Railway Hotel site has been an important element in Bunyip's commercial centre for more than 170 years.
