Description

DescriptionThe Hotel was built in 1881 by William Kennedy and was granted a licence the same year. On his death in 1887 the licence passed to his wife Eliza, and consisted of 17 rooms on one storey. In August 1888 it transferred to William Lahoar, 4 December from William to Margaret Smith. From 1895 to 1905 the licensee was John Peacock Gordon (son-in-law of William Kennedy). In March 1908 the licence was transferred from W. Haskings to J. W. Campbell. (In 1908 listed as Bundamba). Haskings became licensee of the Central Hotel in Ipswich at this time. In 1908 it was transferred to W. C. Cantle and on 7 April 1915 the licence was granted to Mrs E. M. Kennedy. On 26 June 1932 the hotel burnt down. At this time Harriet Dinah Jerks was the licensee. She applied to have the hotel moved to the other side of Brisbane Road on the corner of Stafford Street. In November 1932 Ye Olde Redbank Inne (built in early 1900s) was moved to the Stafford Street site as the Racehorse Hotel. In 1934 licensee was Soren Christian Jocumsen and in August 1939 it transferred from John Lindsay to James Leonard Smith. (Information in part, from Kennedy family records)
