"Culloden Castle" (former Hotel) including interior - Physical Description 1
The Culloden Castle is a two storey hotel built of Barrabool sandstone. The original design origin is unknown but is freely derived from colonial Georgian examples in New South Wales and Tasmania. The Latrobe Terrace elevation is of ashlar blocks with quoining to window and door opening. The projecting quoinwork is also carried across the face of the building to give alternate raised bands of stonework an usual decorative feature, which can also be seen on 10 and 12 Coronation Street. The side elevation is of random coursed rubble. The brick extension was designed by the architect Joseph Watts in 1884 and was rendered. Windows are mulitpaned double hung, and the roof is slate. Rear extensions were added when the building changed use to a restaurant. Its external integrity is good apart from the sandblasted bricks, however internally it is totally renovated.
