This hotel in the mining town of Broken Hill was constructed in 1889 at a cost of 12,190 pounds. The Temperance Movement commissioned the building. They had a vision of a venue for fine dining and coffee, setting it apart from the licensed hotels that were abundant in Broken Hill. Ironically, the building was unprofitable as a coffee palace and became a licensed hotel in 1892.

That's a handsome place. It reminds a little of New Orleans. Nice shot, Frank.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I suspect some alcohol found its way within the confines of this beautiful building.
Good shot Frank.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
The 'Temperance Movement' was an unknown phenomenon to me Frank, so I've searched for information and have found THIS.
I understand now your narrative and Tick's comment.
Very nice shot my friend!

Excellent shot Frank - most temperance movements did not succeed!
