Albion Hotel, Main Street
The site was originally occupied by the Maldon Larder
in 1857. The building was offered for sale or lease in 1862
and became The Cricketers Arms. The building changed
owners again in 1863 and in 1866 the existing building,
designed by Kebble, was and erected and the name
changed to the Albion. At the time of its erection it
was said to be the only brick building in Main Street. The
London Chartered Bank purchased the building in 1888 and
operated until 1912 when it was purchased by the
State Savings Bank of Victoria.
Carrier's Arms Hotel, High Street
The building was constructed in 1857 to provide
accommodation to travellers and was licensed as the
Carrier's Arms Hotel. The hotel closed prior to 1864 and
the building was used as a residence until 1868 when it was
used as a doctor's surgery. The surgery was extended on the
south end of the building and operated until 1900.
Commercial Hotel, High Street
The hotel building was constructed in 1867 and operated with
several licensees as a hotel until 1910. The building now
operates as a shop. The adjacent block of land to its north
housed two other buildings that were used as residences, a
doctor's surgery and a Chinese greengrocer until the
building was demolished some time before 1936.
Eaglehawk Hotel, Reef Street
The site was used in 1854 as a hotel and store, located
adjacent to the Eaglehawk Gully diggings. A large
weatherboard building containing seven bedrooms, a bagatelle
room and a large concert hall was constructed in 1857 on the
site. This building operated until it burnt down in 1906
when the existing building was constructed. The building has
been used as a restaurant and a motel since it was
delicensed.
Globe Hotel, High Street

The brick Loddon store and dwelling was built on the
site in 1858. The building was then used as the Globe
hotel until the front wall cracked and it appears the hotel
moved to a new building on the northern side and was renamed
the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel. The building is now used
a residence.
Grand Hotel, High Street

The site was initially occupied by Brittania House
built in 1858, operating as a drapery store. The site was
purchased by R D Oswald and the existing building was
constructed in 1888 and licensed as the Grand Hotel.
The hotel was sold to the Maldon Brewing Company in
1911.
Kangaroo Hotel, High Street

A license was granted in 1856 and the site was leased on the condition
that a building to the value of £200 was built on the site,
the constructed timber building included the largest room in
Maldon built to hold concerts and balls. In 1860 a building
to house a butcher's shop was built on the south wall and in
1866 the existing brick corner building was constructed. The
southern brick section was built c1905 and the parapets
added. The hotel was also used as a changing station for
Cobb & Co from the 1860's.
Maldon Hotel, Main Street

The construction on the site was a substantial weatherboard
building built in 1860 that housed the Victoria Dining
rooms. The building was extended in 1864 and a verandah
built along the front. By 1869 the building was known as the
Royal Mail Hotel and the name of the hotel changed
around 1900 to the Maldon Hotel. The present building
was constructed in 1909 and its design matches that of the
other buildings in Main Street.
Royal Hotel and Theatre, High Street
The earliest reference in 1854 shows the weatherboard
building and licensed premises for sale. In 1856 it is shown
for sale with a value of £500 and a license is issued for
the Royal Hotel. Addition of a substantial brick
concert hall is recorded in 1857, and the new brick building
designed by D R Drape was built in 1862. The adjoining hall
is noted as a Masonic Hall by 1884. The hotel was licensed
until 1929.
