One Mile Hotel in West (Ipswich)

One Mile Hotel

"This area was very busy in the early years of Ipswich as it was the place where bullock wagons rested on the road between Ipswich and the Darling Downs.

Several hotels were built in Brisbane St. The Bull's Head Inn (on the corner of Keogh St), the Carriers Arms and the One Mile Hotel.

In 1885, Jack King took over the One Mile hotel and rebuilt it. In April 1911, architect 'Coutts'called tenders for a two-storey brick hotel at One Mile for N. Kerwick and this appears to be the present hotel, the third on the site."
