    Old Colonists' Hall (Duplicate) - Physical Description 1

    This building was constructed in 1887-89 for a cost of £4,500. The verandah was designed by Molloy and Smith, Architects and built in 1901.
    
    The club was originally established by early inhabitants of Ballarat, some of whom were associated with the Eureka uprising.
    
    The building comprises a restrained Renaissance facade, 4 bays of shops on the ground floor and a central arched entrance to the club rooms. An arcaded window treatment on the first floor is broken by a central window surmounted by a triangular pediment and flanked by engaged columns. The parapet is an elegant design. A balustraded section flanks a broken pedimental motif. The two level verandah is of interest with a central triangular gablet On the roof infilled by an unusual decorative iron panel. Internally there is an elaborate stair, hall and skylight. The building provides a particularly important example of a double storey verandah of a refined design associated with an elegant facade, and an interior of Some interest. It is externally intact other than the ground floor shop fronts, and internally the more important features have been retained.
