    Malvern Hotel - Physical Description 1

    (as assessed from the street)

    The earliest section of this hotel (c1861) is the gabled two-storey wing with what was once a five-bay cantilevering timber-framed verandah. The verandah roof was skillion-form and hipped at each end: four bays of the verandah frame and the associated stout timber posts remain, plus the skillion roof form. Both main and verandah roofs are now clad with slate: this matches the early description of the main roof cladding but not the 20th century image of the hotel which shows the verandah roof as striped corrugated iron. The eaves are boxed, and circular vents are placed in the gable ends. The existing upper level openings resemble the double-hung sash windows (each sash two pane) which numbered five along the south elevation and two on the east elevation in the 1880s. The original balustrade was cast-iron panels but none remain. The circular vents, expressed corner piers, and ruled stucco wall finish survive.

    The 1880s view also shows the new corner bar, decorated in an Italian Renaissance revival manner with parapeted roof line, decorated cornice and entablature, arched openings with architraves and impost moulds and the splayed corner entry to the bar. This survives as a defaced and altered shell, as indicated by the plinth moulding, but has been extended west in front of the ground level facade of the c1861 wing. The 1880s view does not show the existing two-storey additions to the north which were then minor gabled and skillion roofed structures.

    Integrity

    Malvern Hotel - Integrity

    (as assessed from the street)

    The ground level of the first section has been rebuilt, leaving the upper level walls, fenestration, timber-framed verandah and roof form of the original building. The corner bar has been modified and retains its general shape but with no detailing. Several changes have been made to the later north wings of the hotel.
