Compiled by: Kate Shadiac

After discovering there was limited archived history on the Hotel, Publican Kate

Shadiac compiled this history paper beginning from when the Hotel opened as the

‘Black Eagle’ in 1863 by Anton Kranewitter to 2014.

Thankyou to the Clare Regional History Group & Mt Horrocks Historical Society

for their assistance as well as the community.

Happy 151st Birthday to the Sevenhill Hotel 16

th July 2014.
