| Description : |
The Rob Roy Hotel consists of two separate buildings - one of whitewashed brick which dates from before 1853 and the other which was built in 1881 to the design of English and Soward, constructed from local sandstone, with a balcony and cast iron balustrade. The architectural drawing is of this building.
The Rob Roy was first licensed in 1840 and has been trading continuously to the present day which makes it significant as one of Adelaide's oldest trading pubs. It is also quite unusual for the older whitewashed brick building to have survived, particularly given the 1881 redevelopment when it was customary to totally redevelop a site. Only a handful of buildings from the first two decades of the colony exist. Comparable examples of early Adelaide pubs include the Queen's Head in Kermode Street, Prince Albert Hotel in Wright Street and the former Beresford Arms in Gilles Street. |
