Barwon Heads Hotel site

This site was originally the location of the weatherboard, Victorian Picturesque
styled Coffee Palace, constructed in the latter 19th century.
A small round room on the south end
served as a Post Office, and there was a separate hall for recreation.
The building
was later renamed the Mt Colite Hotel, and the building was destroyed by fire in
the 1920s.

The present building was constructed soon
after, and has experienced many alterations and additions over the years
.
