the Exford Hotel
The Exford Hotel was built in 1914 to replace an earlier hotel first known as the Sportsman's Arms and built in 1854.
It is a rare intact example of an Edwardian hotel in the city and creates an impressive gateway to the "Chinatown" precinct of Little Bourke Street. Historically it is a late entry to a chain of hotels built for the Staughton family, which hitherto had made their fortune from grazing.
A three storeyed and parapeted brick hotel, which adopts the traditional splay-corner plan and a conservative classical exterior, divided horizontally by string mouldings and minor entablatures at each floor line.
