Wayside Inn, 2004
The first
publican of the Wayside Inn was James B Lamond, a
former barman in 1868 at one of Melbourne’s earliest
hotels, Scott’s Hotel in Bourke Street. The hotel was
rebuilt in 1915, probably in response to the mass-closure of hotels that was
due, in part, to the declining quality of buildings and services.The Wayside Inn still operates as a hotel,
yet its layout and menu owe more to contemporary bar, rather than traditional
pub culture.
