History

The buildings that now form the Alpine Lodge Motel were built in 1872 for local businessman Charles Rogers as a line of four separate terrace houses of two and three storeys. It was subsequently converted to guesthouse accommodation.{{cite web | url=http://www.alpineheritagemotel.com.au/about_us.html | title=About Us | publisher=Alpine Heritage Motel | accessdate=12 July 2018}}{{cite web | url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=2932117 | title=Terraces, Two and Three Storey, Alpine Heritage Hotel | publisher=Office of Environment and Heritage | work=State Heritage Inventory | accessdate=12 July 2018}} In 1893, Rogers conjoined and renovated the terraces as the Temperance movement Metropolitan Coffee Palace, operated by Mr. W.
