Beenleigh Hotel, corner of George Street and City Road, Beenleigh, Queensland

The Beenleigh Hotel was a two storied timber building built in 1872 by Michael Tansy. During the 1880s the hotel filled a vital role as depot and booking office for Cobb and Co. Extensive alterations were carried out in 1910 by David Coulter of Pimpama. The hotel was sold in 1975 to the National Australia Bank and the licence transferred to Brackenridge. In 1977 the hotel was demolished. [Reference source: Gold Coast City Council Local Studies Library Newspaper clipping files.] The photograph was taken on the day the hotel was demolished
