2007: The Frenchman's Inn Hotel, built in 1839 by Frederick Jean Duverney completed in 1940, first licenced 24 April 1841.
The current Inn is built on the site of the original Cressy Pub. Story has it the Pub was delicensed for a year when the original owners son went for drunken horse ride through the town.
This probably cost the Hotel the claim of Victoria's oldest continuous or currently trading license.
Certainly an historic Pub in carrying on the name of one of Vics original Pubs on the same site. It is also an historic building in its own right.
