DETAILS

TitleClyde Hotel, Strathpine, 1930sDescriptionThe Clyde Hotel stood on Gympie Road on the site of today's (1996) Four Mile Creek Hotel. The first hotel licence was held from 1874 until 1901 by James Buchanan (1823-1906), one of the earliest pioneers in the Strathpine area. Buchanan had been one of the first wave of settlers who had established farms in the district in 1862. The Clyde Hotel became a major landmark during World War II when many of the thousands of soldiers who were camped in the vicinity visited the hotel. On Christmas eve 1944, the building was burnt down under suspicious circumstances, but a temporary building was erected within a couple of weeks so that trading could continue. The Country Club Hotel was constructed in two stages on the same site during the 1950s and 1960s. Sadly, however, the Country Club, which had become a major landmark in the area, was demolished to make way for the new tavern, the Four Mile Creek Hotel, which opened on 1 December 2003. The Old Shire Hall can also be seen in the distance at the extreme left of the photograph.Date1930sPhotographerBagwell FamilyCollectorBagwell FamilyRecord typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourBlack and white
