Victoria Park Hotel, Heritage hotel on Boundary Street in South Townsville, Australia
The Victoria Park Hotel stands as a two-story timber structure featuring a notable corner entrance and architectural elements characteristic of Queensland hotels from the 1890s.
The architectural firm Tunbridge & Tunbridge designed the hotel in 1895, with local builder Jeremiah Dempsey constructing the building that opened its doors in 1896.
The establishment served as a social center for South Townsville residents, particularly workers from nearby industries such as the Cleveland Foundry and railway workshops.
The hotel maintained its position at 266 Boundary Street until 2018, when a fire that began in the laundry room led to the complete destruction of the structure.
Community action in 1982 prevented the demolition of the building, resulting in extensive repairs that preserved its historical features while modernizing its facilities.
