Albion Hotel 
Main Street
The site was originally occupied by the Maldon Larder in 1857. The
building was offered for sale or lease in 1862 and became The Cricketers
Arms. The building changed owners again in 1863 and in 1866 the existing
building, designed by Kebble, was and erected and the name changed to the Albion.
At the time of its erection it was said to be the only brick building in Main
Street. The London Chartered Bank purchased the building in 1888 and
operated until 1912 when it was purchased by the State Savings Bank of
Victoria. The building was sold in 1996 and converted into offices and
accommodation facilities.
Carrier's Arms Hotel 
High Street
The building was constructed in 1857 to provide accommodation to travellers and
was licensed as the Carrier's Arms Hotel. The hotel closed prior to 1864
and the building was used as a residence until 1868 when it was used as a
doctor's surgery. The surgery was extended on the south end of the building and
operated until 1900. The building is now used as a shop and accommodation.
Commercial Hotel 
High Street
The hotel building was constructed in 1867 and operated with several licensees
as a hotel until 1910. The building now operates as a shop. The adjacent block
of land to its north housed two other buildings that were used as residences, a
doctor's surgery and a Chinese greengrocer until the building was demolished
some time before 1936.
Eaglehawk Hotel 
Reef Street
The site was used in 1854 as a hotel and store, located adjacent to the
Eaglehawk Gully diggings. A large weatherboard building containing seven
bedrooms, a bagatelle room and a large concert hall was constructed in 1857 on
the site. This building operated until it burnt down in 1906 when the existing
building was constructed. The building has been used as a restaurant and a motel
since it was delicensed.
Globe Hotel 
High Street
The brick Loddon store and dwelling was built on the site in 1858. The
building was then used as the Globe hotel until the front wall cracked
and it appears the hotel moved to a new building on the northern side and was
renamed the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel. The building is now used a
residence.
Grand Hotel 
High Street
The site was initially occupied by Brittania House built in 1858,
operating as a drapery store. The site was purchased by R D Oswald and the
existing building was constructed in 1888 and licensed as the Grand Hotel.
The hotel was sold to the Maldon Brewing Company in 1911.
Kangaroo Hotel 
High Street
A license was granted in 1856 and
the site was leased on the condition that a building to the value of £200 was
built on the site, the constructed timber building included the largest room in
Maldon built to hold concerts and balls. In 1860 a building to house a butcher's
shop was built on the south wall and in 1866 the existing brick corner building
was constructed. The southern brick section was built c1905 and the parapets
added. The hotel was also used as a changing station for Cobb & Co from the
1860's.
Maldon Hotel 
Main Street
The construction on the site was a substantial weatherboard building built in
1860 that housed the Victoria Dining rooms. The building was extended in 1864
and a verandah built along the front. By 1869 the building was known as the Royal
Mail Hotel and the name of the hotel changed around 1900 to the Maldon
Hotel. The present building was constructed in 1909 and its design matches
that of the other buildings in Main Street.
Royal Hotel and Theatre 
High Street
The earliest reference in 1854 shows the weatherboard building and licensed
premises for sale. In 1856 it is shown for sale with a value of £500 and a
license is issued for the Royal Hotel. Addition of a substantial brick
concert hall is recorded in 1857, and the new brick building designed by D R
Drape was built in 1862. The adjoining hall is noted as a Masonic Hall by 1884.
The hotel was licensed until 1929.
