Description:
Rare engraving of Trickett’s Hotel, which on the corner of King and Pitt Streets. The site at 138-140 Pitt Street was for many years the city’s first sugar exchange. In the late 1870s the building was constructed as a hotel for a Sydney businessman, William Mears. It had four floors and sixteen rooms and was made of brick and shingle. It was first managed by Edward Trickett, the world champion sculler, and was known as “Trickett’s Hotel“. It was later renamed “Kings Hotel“. It was damaged by fire in April 1914, but reopened and operated as a hotel under that name until its closed on 30 June 1973.
