Taxonomy Term

There have been two hotels in Tasmania with this name, one in Hobart and one in Glenorchy. The Hobart based hotel opened in 1837 on the corner of Argyle and Bathurst street. The name was changed to the Duke of York in the early 1900s. It has also been called The Men's Gallery in more recent times but it is now the site of a high rise car park. Source: Dennison, C. J.: Here's Cheers: A Pictorial History of Hotels, Taverns and Inns in Hobart; HCC, 2008, p. 135. The Glenorchy based hotel opened in the early 1830s at 387-391 Main Road, Glenorchy. It was licensed by Joseph Walton in 1833 (but was formerly Mr. Johnsons) and known as both the Kensington Inn and the Kensington Arms. The hotel has subsequently been renamed The Racecourse Hotel.
