Braybrook Hotel
353 Ballarat Road BRAYBROOK, Maribyrnong City
Statement of Significance
The Braybrook Hotel is significant to the Western Region because:
- It is among the oldest structures in the City and the region (Criterion B2) ;
- It has been a gathering place for travellers and local people over a long period and has thus gained considerable public exposure (Criterion G1);
- It is linked with the old village of Braybrook and the gold era as a way side stop enroute to the gold fields (Criterion A4);
- It shows architectural sophistication which suggests it was architect designed (Criterion F1) ;
- It is built from face stonework which is rare for a commercial or public building in the City and the region and is closely linked to the western suburbs as the major source of basalt in this era (criterion B2); and
- It is surprisingly externally intact for a commercial building of that era (Criterion C2).
