Statement of Significance
Although the architectural design of the building is unremarkable, the Albion is a prominent and noteworthy building which marks the date of the area's first subdivision and provides a local landmark amidst predominantly single-fronted cottages. The architectural significance of the building is diminished by the absence of the original cast iron verandah details.

Albion Family Hotel - Physical Description 1
The Albion is a three-storey, rendered brick hotel with return verandahs to the south-west elevation. The original cast iron baluster panels, brackets and frieze work on the verandah have been removed. The plan has a typical splayed comer entry. Surmounting the splayed comer is a semi-circular arched pediment which contains the name of the hotel. The facade is articulated by moulded string courses and panelled pilasters. At the parapet, an arched pediment contains the hotel's name and the double hung sash windows have moulded heads and sills. The facades are marred by the later addition of various types of signage.
