Comments:

Tubal Cain, the son of Lamech and Zillah and a descendant of Cain, was the 'forger of all instruments of bronze and iron' (Genesis 4:22) and thus the ancestor of metalworkers. He is sometimes referred to as the first blacksmith. There is also a Masonic connection.

In 1894 permission was granted to change the name to the Hoddle Arms Hotel, but it was changed back to the Tubal Cain within a few years.

The timber hotel became a residence for some years after its closure. The current building on the site housed Maroon Motor Services from the 1920s until the 1970s.
