The hotel is located on the corner of Hannan Street and Maritana Street in Kalgoorlie.[1][2][3] It stands next door to the building of the Kalgoorlie Miner, the goldfields newspaper, and opposite the Palace Hotel.[2]
Historyedit
Exchange Hotel on Maritana Street
The hotel was built in 1900 for the Wilkie Brothers, contractors for the Southern Cross-Kalgoorlie railway line.[1] They hired the construction team Shaw and Harcorn, and the architectural team Hawkins and Spriggs.[1] It has two storeys and it made up of bricks, iron and a timber balustrade.[1] It has a corner tower and corrugated galvanised iron gabled roof.[1]
During the race riots of 1934, the hotel was purchased by Bill Trythall from the former owner, who had a foreign-sounding name.[1] As a result, the building was saved from damage.[1]
In 2011, it went into receivership as a result of declining clientele.[4] In January 2013, it was purchased by a new owner.[5] Their use of "skimpies", i.e. topless waitresses, is good for tourism.[6]
