Description:
This quirky hotel featured prominently in the Australian hit movie PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT. The building was originally erected as a coffee palace in 1889. The Temperance Movement (a group that believes in non-alcohol licensed venues for the community) commissioned the build; They had a vision of a place for fine dining and coffee setting it apart from the licensed hotels that were abundant in Broken Hill. The building was ultimately unprofitable as a coffee palace and ultimately became a licensed hotel in 1892. The architect was Alfred Dunn from Melbourne; he had successfully won a competition to design the hotel.
