Statement of Significance

• Additional Place Information

  • Physical Description 1

    Rising Sun Hotel - Physical Description 1

    No trace of an earlier structure survives beyond that of the 1920s. Face brick at the rear and rendered at the front the hotel is in one and two storey wings, each with the shallow parapet pediment of the Greek Revival style. Saltire-cross balustrading across boldly cantilevered balconies underscores this theme and the delicately mushroom-shaded glazed tiles, with their green and yellow borders, were archetypical in contemporary hotel application.

    Streetscape
    Isolated by the overpass from Geelong Road, it relates only slightly to the surrounding housing.
