208 Moray Street, corner Union Place, South Melbourne
MEL: 2K E2
Patrick Ward, who later joined the founding committee of the
South Melbourne Permanent Building and Investment Society in 1875, established
the Union Hotel in 1861. Henry James Regan, publican from 1898 until 1914,
planned an ‘extended holiday’ before taking over the Southern Cross Hotel in
Cecil Street. The Licenses Reduction Board decided the hotel’s fate on 17 June
1920, and the Union closed later that year. In 2003, it is a private residence
and home business.
