Summary

[General description] The Orient Hotel has just been given a complete change of style. Its stone walls have been rendered and it now features a parapet with Art Deco details. The trams go past, note the wires overhead. There has been a hotel on this site since1854 but it has been known as the Orient since 1863 (except briefly called Coveney's Hotel in 1897). These alterations were made when Mrs. Elizabeth Alexander was the licensee.
