Statement of Significance
The Star Hotel was constructed in 1875 for F G Hickox on the east side of Traralgon Creek on the then road to Sale. The original weatherboard building with shingle roof contained six guest rooms.
With the advent of the railway line, the bias of the town shifted westwards and the Sale road was diverted to the opposite bank of the creek. This effectively removed the hotel trade and the licence was transferred in 1882 to new premises elsewhere. The original building then became a boarding house and later a private house.
The original form of the hotel is largely intact, although the general land level having been raised around the building, the floor is vulnerable to dampness. Original sapling studs still exist in partitions and wooden shingles survive beneath the later corrugated iron roof.
At some unknown later date a gabled extension was added at right angles along the western end-of timber construction, but of different form. This extension is excluded.
