Statement of Significance
- Four chimneys on original building
- 1931 additions to extend the building
Aesthetically, the hotel is in a prominent position on the corner of Radovick and Commercial Streetsand significantly contributes to these streetscapes. The hotel's two storey facades and verandahs with cast iron balustrades on two elevations make the building significant to the aesthetic and historic character of Korumburra. (Criterion E)
Mr Antonio Radovick was a key figure in the early development of Korumburra, as evidenced by the naming of one of the earliest streets in the town after him (Radovick Street). Mr Radovick owned the Hotel until 1899 and used the venue for public meetings and gatherings. Although the hotel's name has since been changed from 'Radovick's Hotel', the building remains linked to him through its location at the Radovick St entrance. (Criterion H)

KORUMBURRA HOTEL - Physical Description 1
brick hotel with a brick parapet and a two storey street verandah to two street frontages. Occupying a prominent corner site at the intersection with Radovick Street, the Hotel is an imposing element in the streetscape of Commercial Street.
The original hotel on this site was constructed of timber and early photographs show it with a verandah only to the Commercial Street elevation. It is not clear how much of the original fabric survives under the later additions, which were presumably carried out during the interwar period.
The cast iron balustrade to the upper verandah was possibly recycled from the original building.Heritage Study and Grading
