Peterborough's Railway Hotel (Peterborough, Mid North South Australia)

            The Railway Hotel is the site where Mr Willian Heithersay set up a blacksmith shop in December 1878. He has been credited with being the first businessman to set up in Petersburg.

The license to build the Railway Hotel was obtained by Mr Thomas F. Sabine from the Northern Licensing Bench at Port Augusta on the 10th of June 1891. The building was commenced in August and the Hotel was opened for business on the 23rd of December 1891 by the proprietor, Mr W. Britten. It was the third hotel in town.

The building has been an important social centre and venue for significant celebrations in the town. It was the venue for vice regal celebrations after opening the original town hall in 1894.

The hotel had major internal reconstruction carried out during the 1990s to make the dining area bigger, adding poker machines, and upgrading accommodation. At the same time the old stables at the rear were demolished and five motel units were built.
