The Newtown Hotel is located on the corner of King Street and Watkins Street, in the inner west suburb of Newtown. This heritage listed pub was built in 1886 in the Victorian Free Classical architectural style and known as the Club Hotel. It later became the Rugby Hotel and has undergone alterations over the years and name changes including East's Rugby Hotel, Newtown Colonial Hotel, Harrison's Club Hotel and finally the Newtown Hotel since at least 1989.
Ah, so that is the Newtown Hotel. Famous and infamous.

ReplyDeleteNamaki, I was actually surprised to see a red and blue car parked outside on this day.
DeleteLots of wonderful details here! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteGee whiz Jim - it's changed names a few times ! I quite like the colour it's painted at the moment - nice & bright for a corner pub.
ReplyDeleteDianne, I do wonder how long that will last, seeing that the big trend now is painting buildings in dark colours: greys, browns and blacks
DeleteI like that shade of green, makes it stand out.
