The Bay View Hotel located at 175 Nelson Place was designed by Gordon McCrae and built by Mr. Ingham in 1910 as a 13 room hotel. Upstairs was used as a clubroom for 100 people and billiard tables were installed downstairs. The laneway at the side led to the Artillery Brewery building, which has since been replaced by Nelson Heights Towers. The original hotel was a wooden building built pre-1869. Andrew Rider, hairdresser and photographer, whose name is linked with the hotel from 1875, was the owner of the new 13 room brick Bay View hotel and shop constructed in 1910 whilst George W. Magor was both the new and old publican. A year later, JJ Jeffries purchased the hotel, and by 1920 Hannah Starr was the licensee.bayview hotel, nelson place, 175 nelson place, andrew rider
