Pre Hotel

The Pre Hotel is a building that was originally constructed as a country house around 1830-1840. It is made of stuccoed and painted brick and features a low pitched slate roof. The building has a bracketed eaves cornice with a moulded fascia band and stands two storeys high, with a floor band. The main elevation faces the garden and includes eight recessed sash windows; the center and right-hand windows are triple hung and set in shallow projecting bays. There is a continuous ground floor verandah with a coved iron roof supported by slender palmette columns, and the outer and central bays have thin iron arches with a cut metal valence. The road elevation displays several projections, including a square porch with Doric pilasters and a pediment, along with a five-window service block on the right side. Inside, the ground floor rooms facing the garden are well-proportioned, with one room featuring an enriched cornice.
