[7] In 1933, architects Thomas Watts & Sons designed a new rear addition valued at £500 including new kitchen, and alterations to the front bar.

Additional bedrooms and relocation of the kitchen (which had previously been a billiard room), were undertaken by Harry J. Johnston with designs by architect J.

Little designed further alterations, including single-storey sections for laundry, toilets, garage and fuel store, replacing former outbuildings.

The site is included in the City of Melbourne Heritage Overlay (HO85), where it is described as: historically significant as one of the earliest extant buildings in this part of Carlton, which has undergone substantial change since the time of its initial phase of construction in 1857.

[16] Councillor Doyle referred to the illegal demolition as "the most brazen and wanton act of vandalism" he had seen in his political career.

[20] Wynne eventually scrapped initial plans to try and compel Shaqiri and Kutlesovsky to have the pub rebuilt, instead allowing them to build a 12-storey tower on the site,[13] for which he received harsh criticism in the media.

[22] Crikey's Guy Rundle lamented that the pair were likely to make "millions" from the deal they had struck to build a 12-story tower on the site.

[24] A wooden scale replica of the Carlton Inn's facade was included as part of a public artwork by Sean Lynch.

[25] Following the demolition, Kutlesovski and Shaqiri removed asbestos from the site and dumped it on another location, near a school and residential buildings, endangering the people in the vicinity.

[26] The pair appeared again in court in 2019, and this time were fined a further $1.32 million for the demolition following a successful prosecution by the Victoria Building Authority.

[28] The developers did not build the temporary public park and as a result contempt of court proceedings were instigated in July 2020.

[33] [25] A planning application for a modern three-storey pub, designed by Six Degrees, with two basement levels was lodged for the site in late 2022.

A spokesman for the pair said the new building will not be used as a pub and the owners have had discussions with The Salvation Army about using it for a food bank or community centre.
