Statement of Significance
The former Queens Arms Hotel, erected in 1854 or 1855 on the corner of Dorcas and Coote Streets, South Melbourne, is of State architectural and historic significance. It is one of the earliest buildings in South Melbourne.
Though delicensed in 1883 it also appears to be the earliest extant hotel in that suburb. The former hotel is architecturally notable for its use of attached cast-iron balconettes enlivening an otherwise severe facade. This is a very early use of cast-iron in Melbourne, and may have been imported. The hotel is also notable for the fact that all the door and window joinery appears to be original.
