| 説明 | The first Queen's Hotel was constructed on this site in 1872 for James Evans. The two-storeyed timber building gained a reputation as one of the best hotels in Queensland. In about 1899, John Henry Tyack acquired the site and licence, and the hotel was gradually expanded until 1925.From 1872-1914, the Queen's Hotel was the only Townsville hotel to gain a reputation as a "grand hotel" visited by Governors, politicians and other dignitaries including Dame Nellie Melba in 1909. (Also, my in-laws spent their honeymoon here in 1945.) After WW2, the hotel gradually declined as the premier hotel in Townsville. In 1966, several bays at the end of each wing were demolished. The building is currently used for offices. |
