Summary

[General description] This two storey corner hotel has wide verandahs and iron lace decorated balconies along both street frontages. The roof has gables above the doorways. Decorative mirrors advertising brands of wine and beer are mounted on the wall outside. A hotel existed on this site since 1851. It underwent two name changes until 1880 when it was re-named the Oakfield Hotel, which name was retained until its demolition in 1963. The licensee in 1929 was Wilfred John Ogden.
