Town Hall Hotel, 62-68 Main Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The Town Hall Hotel building, 62-68 Main Street, Stawell, contributes to the architectural and visual amenity of the predominantly Victorian and interwar streetscape.
The two storey face brick hotel building is characterised by a rendered parapet with projecting stringcourse and crowning curved and stylised pediments with flanking scrolls. Under the stringcourse is introduced (and inappropriate signage). The first floor has irregular bays of single, timber framed double hung windows accentuated by rendered quoinwork and heads (the irregularity of the bays being caused by the different periods of construction of the front facade). Under the painted window sills is a rendered band. Projecting from the first floor are inappropriate internally illuminated signs.
Separating the first floor from the ground floor is an introduced projecting skillion verandah supported by introduced round steel columns. Under the verandah, the facade design and construction is similar to the first floor, with irregular bays of early window and doors openings (a number of which have been altered), accentuated by rendered quoinwork and heads, with early face brick and introduced masonry wall construction.
It is at the rear of the building where the different periods of construction are most noticeable. There is a double hipped roof form (clad in galvanised corrugated steel) with early clinker brick wall construction and timber framed double hung and shallow-arched window openings.
Adjoining this section is a larger hipped roof form (clad in galvanised corrugated steel) with early face red brick wall construction and parapeted and corbelled side walls. It also has early timber framed double hung windows and an early four panelled timber door accessed by external timber stairs. Both this and the neighbouring sections have early face brick chimneys.
Adjoining the larger hipped roof wing is a smaller, recessive, hipped roof section clad in galvanised corrugated steel with face red brick and parapeted wall construction. An introduced hipped roof brick wing projects at the rear of this section.
