Grand Western Lodge, Heritage-listed building in Millthorpe, Australia.
The Grand Western Lodge is a two-story building in Millthorpe featuring a decorative cast iron verandah on its front facade. The structure showcases distinctive keyhole-shaped windows and a prominent stuccoed central parapet typical of early 1900s design.
The building was constructed in 1901 by John Wells for owner John Frape during Millthorpe's early growth period. It gained official recognition as a heritage site when added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 1999.
The structure transitioned from a hotel to a boarding house in 1987, reflecting the changing needs of the New South Wales community over time.
The lodge is centrally located on Victoria Street and easily accessible to visitors exploring Millthorpe. The renovated property now functions as an operational hotel providing accommodation for overnight guests.
The building features pictorial leadlight glazing, a decorative technique rarely seen in regional Australian structures from that period. This handcrafted detail reflects the high quality workmanship invested in Millthorpe's early hospitality buildings.
