Old Colonial Inn

The Old Colonial Inn was a grand place to stay and a highly respected and visited restaurant and venue during its time at 127 Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, Australia.

The building was actually built in 1850 as a double story Victorian and began life as the Brunswick Family Hotel. The Brunswick Street and Fitzroy precinct was one of the first highly commercialized areas of Fitzroy. During the 1840s, the area was popularized with shops for food, material and clothing that provided well for residents needs. During the 19th and 20th century Brunswick was one of Melbourne’s prime shopping and dining strips. It was significant for its Edwardian styled architecture and Victorian buildings and homes.
