The NelsonHotel was first
licensed to Patrick Woolf in 1867. Its second publican Frederick Huffer was
there only a year before his funeral took place from the Nelson on 11 December 1869. The hotel was extended and
upgraded in 1927 for then owner A Carroll to the designs of Harry R Johnson,
architect (1892-1954), as established by the date on the corner face. The
Nelson operated as a hotel until its license lapsed on 31 December 1970.After the building was upgraded, it was
converted to Miguel’s BYO Restaurant. In 2003, it is the site of the Bengal
Tiger Indian Restaurant.The name
‘Nelson’ is still evident on the façade of the building.
