Summary

[General description] Constructed by the Largs Bay Land and Investment Company in 1882, this three-storied, white-arched building was built of stone with rendered masonry. The architects were Ernest H. Bayer and Latham A. Whithall. Its roof features two cupolas topped with widow's walks designed for watching ships. People posing for the photographer in front of the hotel and on its balconies were probably the hotel manager's family and staff. [On back of photograph] 'Largs Hotel / 1883-86'. (Sweet Adelaide 113).
