Braybrook Hotel, Ballarat Rd, Braybrook

In 1857, a hotel was established on this site to serves the thirsty diggers on route to the gold fields in Western Victoria.​

​

The facade of the current building dates back to the 1870's. It was the business and home of Thomas Burge Derham,  a significant businessman and land owner of the local area.

​

The hotel was not only a refreshment and stop over point for travelers, the building was also used as a court house, the Shire of Braybrook used it for their meetings and a place for autopsies.

​

In the mid 1940's the hotel was purchased by the Ballarat Brewing Company.
