Captain Stirling Hotel, Heritage hotel in Nedlands, Australia
Description
The Captain Stirling Hotel is a building in Nedlands featuring Mediterranean architectural elements with rendered masonry walls, clay tile roofing, and arched openings. Concrete columns frame the entrance, giving the structure a distinctive early twentieth-century resort aesthetic.
History
The hotel was designed in 1935 by architects George Herbert Parry and Marshall Clifton for Edward Bartram Johnston. It represents the interwar period when such resort-style establishments were being built across Western Australian towns.
Culture
The hotel is named after James Stirling, the first Governor of Western Australia, connecting visitors to the region's colonial past. The name choice reflects how early British figures were honored in local place names.
Practical
The property sits on Stirling Highway and will eventually become part of a wider town center development project in the area. Visitors should be aware that surroundings may change as redevelopment work progresses.
