Summary

Western Hotel, Port Augusta West. During the period of 1872-1877 the hotel was converted to a two-storey building. James Western Fitts was the proprietor at the time of this photograph. The hotel existed since 1867. From notes on the back of the photograph "The original single storey hotel was licensed in 1867 to John Tortoise. He was a carpenter and builder. One of his daughters married Mr FCV Sanderson and another to JN Conway. Note the man wearing a puggaree hat band on his hat and carrying what looks like a rolled plan. Perhaps he was a surveyor for the two storey hotel." See B 15899 for the two storey hotel.
