Buchanan's Hotel
Buchanan's Hotel (nicknamed "Buchs"〔Gibson-Wilde, Dorothy M. and Bruce C. ''A Pattern of Pubs: Hotels of Townsville 1864-1914''. James Cook University, 1988.〕) was a hotel on Sturt Street in the Townsville CBD, Australia. It was used as a hotel from 1903–39, and during World War II to house American officers. It caught fire and was destroyed in 1982.
== Construction and early history ==
Buchanan's Hotel in Townsville was built in 1903, with an ornate wrought iron and stained-glass〔 facade in the Filigree style covering its front verandas.〔 It was named for its owner, |David Buchanan, who built it to replace his previous hotel, ''Prince of Wales'', which sat on the same spot and was destroyed by fire in April 1902. Initially named the ''Prince of Wales'' after its predecessor, David Buchanan's pride in his building was such that in May 1903 he officially changed its name to match his own.〔
Buchanan, a first-generation Scottish immigrant who owned multiple hotels in his lifetime, spared no expense in the construction of his eponymous pub: Buchanan's featured high-ceilinged bedrooms, gas lighting, electric bells to summon staff members and running water to wash stands in every room. It also contained a five-hundred square foot dining saloon, and the wrought-iron "iron lace" facade was created by Green's Foundry in Townsville. Its construction cost £12000, and it was the last hotel David Buchanan built before his death in 1913. He claimed that it stood "easily first in north Queensland", though commentators have suggested this claim might have been overstated slightly.〔
The architecture was a particularly notable feature of Buchanan's, one that would later lead to its display on an Australia Post stamp. Dorothy and Bruce Gibson-Wilde note this in their 1988 book, ''A Pattern of Pubs: Hotels of Townsville 1864-1914'':
Townsville's two most elaborate hotel buildings, the ''Queen's'' and ''Buchanan's'', were designed in the same year (1902). Both mixed the exposed brick and painted plaster detailing of the Federation ear with iron lace, more typical of the nineteenth century. ''Buchanan's'' was justly famous for its superb cast and wrought iron.〔
