(RAU doc) plan 26 Jun 1912 "Fordsburg Hotel c1912 was one of the few hotels built in the suburbs between 1900-1920. It was designed by H. William. It has also been known as Connolley's Building and Brigadiers. On the Goad's 1910 map prior to the hotel being built, single-story shops stood on the corner, one of them housing a tailor. It appears to not have lasted long as a hotel." (History of Fordsburg.
