1973In 1882 The Perthshire
was sold to David
Bartram who then
constructed a brick and
concrete replacement for
the wooden Perthshire
Arms, the new building
was opened as The
Lincoln Hotel in 1885.
The new hotel
was advertised as
having ‘splendid
accommodation, private
suites plus a new billiard
table’. The old Perthshire
was used as the Town
Hall before it was burnt
down in 1889. The
Lincoln Lawn Tennis
Club was formed at the
Lincoln Hotel, pigeon
shooting was regularly
hosted at the premise in
the 1880’s and the local
rugby team held its after
match dinners at the pub.

2010In early 2010 Lincoln Club
Inc took over the lease
of the hotel and began
renovations and repairs
to the hotel, until the
devastating earthquake of
4th September 2010.
The chimney on the
William Street side of
the building collapsed
outwards onto the back bar
extension, cracks opened
up throughout the old
structure and the hotel was
condemned.
She came down ten days
later aged 125 years in front
of an emotional crowd of
locals, some who had drunk
there for over 70 years.
Planning began quickly on
a replacement hotel, whilst
the back bar extension
remained standing and
operating on a smaller scale,
until the new hotel became
up and running.
