National Hotel, 16 Wakeham Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The National Hotel at 16 Wakeham Street, Stawell, is set on a wide allotment along the front boundary.
The single storey, face brick, rudimentary early 20th century stripped Classical styled hotel building is characterised by a three bayed composition defined by the smoothly rusticated and rendered piers, face brick and face brick bays of the prominent parapet. This parapet has a rendered concrete capping, with the central bay having a rectangular title panel that reads "National Hotel", with the flanking bays featuring three rectangular and rendered panels.
Other early features of the design include the projecting skillion verandah over the footpath, being supported by square timber columns, together with the timber framed four paned windows. The single doorway also appears to be early, and the remaining windows may have been introduced or altered.
