03 THE STORY

About this print

The Braidwood Hotel stands at 180 Wallace Street, Braidwood NSW, in a streetscape the NSW State Heritage Register describes as "a fine collection of 19th century buildings." The facade in this photograph is rendered brick, pale paint worn back in patches to expose the underlying courses. Two doorways sit at ground level: one painted black, one pink. Above them, a six-pane sash window. To the right, a boarded opening beneath corrugated metal roofing. The building was constructed in 1859, during the period of Gold Rush expansion that made Braidwood the principal supply town for the Araluen and Majors Creek goldfields. It was licensed that year as the Commercial Hotel and has operated as a licensed hotel without interruption ever since. The name changed to Braidwood Hotel around 2004. The hotel is individually listed on the NSW State Heritage Inventory as "Braidwood Hotel, including verandah and cast iron lacework" under the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council's local heritage schedule. It sits within the NSW State Heritage Register conservation area "Braidwood and its Setting," gazetted on 3 April 2006, the first entire town to receive an SHR listing. The hotel is described in the SHR listing as "Built 1859." Georgian in style and consistent with the town's surviving colonial fabric, the building has rendered brick walls over stone foundations. The cast iron columns and decorative lacework on the second-storey balcony are specifically named in the heritage listing. High ceilings and oversized fireplaces characterise the interior. The Clarke gang's 1865 to 1867 campaign of highway robbery across the Braidwood district, and the Royal Commission that followed in 1867, brought the town and its hotels into the public record. The Commercial Hotel appeared in evidence given to that Commission. The building's tenure across those events and the decades since is visible in what the facade now shows: successive layers of paint, openings blocked and left, materials that have simply stayed put for over 160 years. This photograph was made in 2016. The print is part of the Braidwood Hotel series.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

The Braidwood Hotel has stood at 180 Wallace Street since 1859, built during the Gold Rush prosperity that made Braidwood the primary supply town for the surrounding Araluen and Majors Creek goldfields. Its rendered brick walls, Georgian proportions, and cast iron lacework on the upper balcony are individually listed as heritage features under the Queanbeyan-Palerang LEP. The building falls within the NSW State Heritage Register listing "Braidwood and its Setting," gazetted 3 April 2006, the first entire town to receive that designation. The facade captured here carries the texture of that long tenure: pale paint worn back to the brickwork, two ground-level doors in black and pink, a sash window above.

Braidwood Hotel

2016 · 11 photographs

Braidwood Hotel sits at 180 Wallace Street and has run continuously as a country pub since 1859, when it went up during the Gold Rush. Gold was found in the nearby Araluen Valley in 1851-52, thousands of prospectors filled the diggings, and Braidwood became the base town for the surrounding goldfields. The Wallace Street streetscape that survives today is largely the result of that boom. The hotel is built in the Georgian style: high ceilings, oversized fireplaces, a verandah with cast iron lacework. It is a local heritage item under the Queanbeyan-Palerang LEP. The whole town of Braidwood was given permanent conservation protection by the NSW Government in 2006 and is classified by the National Trust as an historic town. The pub has been continuously open for more than 165 years.
