Early history
In 1864 Thomas Ernest Briggs paid 10 pounds for the "Swan Location 349" it is unclear whether Briggs erected a new building or made amendments to an existing structure on the site, although many convict-era colonist writings make reference to building on the Albion site in the mid to late 1860s. Records show that Briggs applied for a publican license in 1872.
In 1907 the Hotel was up for tender for purchase from Mrs Alice Bullen [1]
In 1912 the license was changed from Norman Ferres to Frederick Treadgold [2]
The pub safe was stolen in June 1929 [3] and in 1930, men were charged for using an adjacent vacant block as a betting place <ref>"BETTING CHARGES". Sunday Times (Perth, WA : 1902 - 1954). Perth, WA: National Library of Australia. 4 May 1930. p. 4. Retrieved 27 May 2014.
