Old Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, Heritage-listed former hotel in Botany, Australia
The Old Sir Joseph Banks Hotel stands at 23 Anniversary Street with Georgian architecture, featuring stuccoed brick walls and cast iron verandahs across two stories.
Constructed between 1840 and 1874 by Thomas Kellet and J. Drew, the building expanded with additional wings and underwent modifications during the Victorian period.
The establishment included gardens, a private zoo, and sports facilities in the 1850s, making it a central gathering place for local community events.
The original structure now functions as residential apartments following a comprehensive restoration project completed around the year 2000.
Frank Smith organized running races at the hotel from 1884 to 1892, establishing the venue as a significant sports entertainment destination in New South Wales.
