Marble Bar
Lavish Victorian bar built in George Adams' Tattersall's Hotel when it was renovated in 1891. The bar was dismantled and reassembled when the hotel was demolished in the late 1960s and reassembled in 1973 in the new Hilton Hotel that was built in its place. Ornately designed to Adams' specifications by Henry Parkes' son, architect Varney Parkes, the bar features sheets of plate glass mirrors, marble walls and pilasters, mosaic floors, cedar timbers, stained glass windows and domed roof, and a series of paintings by Julian Ashton.
