Description
The Brandling Villa Hotel was built in 1900-1903 for W B Reid and Company, to the designs of Arthur Stockwell. There has been a public house on the site of the Brandling Villa Hotel since at least the 1880s. The two storey sandstone building has three large bay windows on its eastern entrance front and two doors each with heavy door surrounds. The pilasters of these door surrounds rise the full height of the building and culminate in small ball finial capped gables. A balustrade above the ground floor follows the curves of the bay windows and creates three first floor balconies above the bay windows. LOCAL LIST
