The Zetland Hotel

Now known as the Green Park hotel this two storey Victorian hotel at 936-938 Bourke Street in Zetland opened in 1886. It was overlaid with an interwar Art Deco style facade circa 1939. The Green Square Hotel still has ‘Zetland Hotel’ on the stained glass window facing the corner. Inside the Art Deco style bar, fittings and décor from its 1930s makeover are remarkably intact.

I have reversed the image here so it reads correctly. It was designed to be looked at from outside on the street but I couldn't capture the colourful design in the glass from that perspective.
