The old stone hotel was replaced in the later nineteenth century by a richly ornamented Italianate style two-storey building which incorporated a shop. The building remains substantially intact as a distinctive nineteenth century facet of the character of Victoria Parade, although the stucco has been painted and some minor alterations made.
John and Elizabeth Davison were associated with the hotel from 1853. Mrs Davison took over as licensee in 1862 after her husband's death and remained in charge until 1899.
Sir John Franklin was a well-known explorer who was also Governor of Tasmania from 1836 to 1843.
