Details: The present hotel (2011), comprises an 1878 building with extensions dating from c 1880-90 and 1935. The 1878 building was constructed by Job Butler Hudson on a site acquired from A A Dangar. On 28 December 1878, an advertisement in the Newcastle Morning Herald referred to the building as Hudson s Bellevue Hotel, suggesting that it was purpose built as a hotel. In 1880, the licensee was William Norman, and from 1885-90 the licensee was Edward Scott who also ran a number of cabs and buggies from the premises. Early site plans indicate that the hotel was situated along a major tramway route and was close to the wharf areas of Newcastle Harbour. The original building was possibly an example of the Victorian Regency style. The c1890 extension was an example of the Victorian Filigree style. The exterior of the original building was extensively remodelled when the 1935 extensions were constructed, the hipped roof was replaced with a skillion roof, a Victorian parapet added, the first floor verandah removed, and an extension to the north west was built. The two storey verandah, including cast iron columns and lace, of the c1880 addition was removed. The ground floor window and door arrangement of both buildings was altered. The whole of the 1935 works combined the building parts to give the appearance of one building. The 1935 alterations and additions were designed by W M D Jeater, Newcastle architect for Messrs Tooheys Ltd. Although a portion of new suspended awning to the north-west extension in Hannell Street was added in 1935, it appears that the remainder of the present suspended awning was built before 1935. The ground floor window and door arrangement has been altered since 1935, and the wall tiles to the ground floor external walls have been removed. In 1994 the building ceased operation as a hotel and was purchased by the Honeysuckle Development Corporation as part of the land consolidation in the Honeysuckle Precinct bounded by Hunter Street, Hannell Street, Wharf Road, and Merewether Street.
