#FlashbackFriday ⏳ Fancy a drink? If it was 1938, you would be heading to Essendon Hotel on Mt Alexander Rd. 🍻 Originally built in the 1850s,  A. R. Hancock refurbished the original hotel in the 1930s "along most modern lines" with 11 bedrooms, a bar, a parlour, a large dining room, a bottle department, and both hot AND cold water. 🏦
