Statement of Interest

The Harrow Inn is a good example of a later 19th century purpose-built public house in its original condition prominently sited on a corner near the centre of town. The interior decorative scheme is of a high quality and in its original condition.

The town plan of 1858 shows 'The Harrow Inn' on this site. The earlier building is wider than the current and juts out from the street line of Sime Place. The current building may have been built to bring it in line with the rest of the street.
