Former Hotel - Physical Description 1
This building is one of the small hotels that operated for a short while, and may be compared with the former Hare and Hound also in Mia Mia. It has two doorways to the front elevation and two windows. The window frames and sashes are missing. The front verandah is continuous with the slope of the roof and contains the remnants of a small and delicately cut timber frieze. There are two large brick chimneys that are badly deteriorated by dampness and salt attack. The original building is sandstone and the render is a later addition. The building is derelict and because it is not weatherproof it will deteriorate rapidly. There is a large timber framed outbuilding behind that would probably have been used as stables. This would lend weight to the evidence for this building functioning as a hotel. The outbuilding is also derelict. The site is surrounded by mature cypresses and peppercorns.
