SLV c.1862: Earl of Zetland
This was a substantial three-story stone corner building, one of the few three-storey hotels ever constructed in Collingwood. The original owner was Samuel Turner, a Collingwood councillor, and chairman of the Public Works committee in 1860. He was also active in the Licensed Victuallers' Association. He spent £7,000 on building the hotel, and according to a 1921 article looking back at Collingwood's history 'The first council [included] Samuel Turner, who built the Earl of Zetland Hotel ... paying the masons £2 a day and making them knock off every now and again to have a drink and smoke at his expense' (The Herald 28 July 1921 p. 11). Perhaps it is not surprising that he became insolvent in 1860.
