Location[edit]
The hotel is located at 259 Hannan Street, between Wilson and Cassidy Streets.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
The hotel was built by John Crothers in 1900–1901 for landlord and proprietor, Henry Edward Laslett.[1][4][5][6] It was designed as a two-storey building in the Federation Anglo-Dutch style by architect Daniel T Edmunds, who also designed the City Markets, another historic landmark building in Kalgoorlie. The foundation stone was laid on 5 September 1900.[1][3][4][7]
The hotel opened on 23 February 1901.[8][1][4] It was leased to Peter McLachlan, who had previously served as the manager of McPhair's Hotel on Collins Street in Melbourne.[4] The facade was renovated in 1974 and 1985.[4]
It still serves as a hotel and a restaurant.[1]

The hotel was classified by the National Trust of Australia (WA) on 7 May 1977.[3][4] It was also entered onto the Register of the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Commission on 21 October 1980.[3][4] Additionally, it has been listed on the State Heritage Register since 9 February 1996.[3][4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
