[3] The village of Toodyay was established in 1836 and in 1864 George Hasell constructed a single storey building here for James Thomas Woods.

[8] In 1894 the first annual dinner of the Toodyay Vine and Fruitgrowers’ Association overtaxed the capacity of the dining room when 60-70 gentlemen sat down for a meal and "over a score were unable to find seats".

[21] In 1906 Thomas John Donegan had taken over management of the Victoria Hotel[22] and in 1908 an extension added the western section of the building.

[26] In 1935 Patrick (Paddy) Andrew Connolly, James Ryan and Sydney Herbert Reidy-Crofts bought the hotel from Donegan.

[27] In March 1937 Mr EJ Parker (aged 37) became the licensee managing the hotel on behalf of the Avon Brewery Company.

He was brought back to Western Australia to face charges of "stealing as a servant", to which he admitted his guilt in September.

[34][35] In 1946 Leslie Bartlett purchased the property and carried out further renovations, including adding a beer garden in the 1950s.

[1] Today the upper storey of the building has an enclosed balustrade while the ground floor has an open verandah.
