Former Royal Exchange, (Lindon House, The Royal) Hotel, Gertrude Street, Fitzroy C.1968

Closed as a pub in the 70s. The Royal Exchange began operating in 1855 with Jeremiah Crawley at the helm. Located on the north-east corner of George and Gertrude streets it was a two-storey stone building with a slate roof, 12 rooms and a bar. It served as the venue for the first meeting of the Fitzroy Council on 9 September 1858 in the absence of more suitable premises. The building has been remodeled over the years and is or was home to a real estate company.
