Imperial Hotel in Quilpie, ca. 1928

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Harry Corones' involvement in the hotel industry extended to Quilpie, where he came to operate three hotels which were placed under the management of his nephew and partner, Jim, and another nephew, Harry George Corones. In August 1921 the Quilpie Hotel, in Brolga Street, was purchased from Ernest and Emma Culliford, and in 1925 the Imperial Hotel was constructed on the corner of Brolga and Buln Buln Streets. In 1926 a fire swept through Quilpie and destroyed the Quilpie Hotel. A new Quilpie Hotel, known as "The Brick" was erected on the site in late 1925 and completed in 1926. In October 1934 the Club Hotel was leased from Castlemaine Perkins Brewery. This hotel was purchased in 1965. Source: www.kythera-family.net/en/photos/diaspore-cafes-shops-cin...

Imperial Hotel during construction in Quilpie, 1925

    The original hotel, known as the Quilpie Hotel was built way back in 1920. It was a wood and iron structure with a bar, 16 bedrooms, 2 parlours and 2 dining rooms and as was discovered in 1926, it was not fire proof. When the hotel was rebuilt it was built with 2 storeys and from brick and concrete (a little harder to burn down). It was Quilpie’s first building to be built from anything other than wood. It became known as “the Brick” Hotel (aren’t we an imaginative bunch). The Brick Hotel closed as a pub in the early 1990’s, shortly after the Imperial was rebuilt. Today it has been renovated in the style of the 1920’s and is an accommodation house known as the “Heritage Inn”. Source: www.visitquilpieshire.com/news/unique-and-quirky-pubs-of-...
