The Lake Hotel (former) - Physical Description 1
The former Lake Hotel at 6360 Northern Highway is a timber framed weatherboard building with a return verandah and a splayed corner. This feature is common on hotels, and combined with the second doorway to the side elevation. It may be assumed from the style of the gabled roof that the first floor is an extension and that the original building was single storey. The doors are designed with rectangular fanlights above, and there are different styles of windows to each elevation. It is possible that the wider sash windows are a later addition.
There is a gable roofed building joined at the rear as an extension, and an outbuilding of corrugated iron which is also of interest.
