Port Office Hotel is a heritage-listed hotel at 40 Edward Street, Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by James Cowlishaw and built from 1876 by Charles Midson. It is also known as Shamrock Hotel. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == The first hotel on this site was opened in May 1864 and was known as the Shamrock Hotel.〔 In late 1876 the Shamrock Hotel was reconstructed as a two storey masonry building with verandahs. It was designed by James Cowlishaw with Charles Midson the contractor.〔 In 1888 the remodelled hotel was described as being ''"extremely commodious, containing (besides public and private bars and an attractive clubroom) fifteen bedrooms, a drawing room, two bath rooms and four public rooms on the ground floor"''. The hotel was patronised by workers from nearby shipping and industrial and riverside businesses.〔 The building was flooded in the 1893 Brisbane flood. With the change of licensee c. 1909, John Chillan Cutbush renamed the hotel the Port Office Hotel.〔 In 1955 the hotel was refurbished under the direction of architect Francis Leo Cullen. This work included the removal of all the verandahs, lacework, canopies and chimneystacks and renovation of the interior fittings.〔 The hotel was flooded in the 1974 Brisbane flood. During the 1980s further internal renovations have been undertaken.〔 Due to its low-lying position, the Port Office Hotel was sandbagged to provide protection during the 2011 Brisbane floods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Port Office Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
