Three Doorways Colour:White a grimy window casting flatTwo doorways sit side by side at ground level of the Braidwood Hotel's Wallace Street facade: one painted black, one pink, set into rendered brick where pale paint has worn back to expose the courses beneath. A six pane sash window sits above them, and a boarded opening to the right holds a corrugated metal roof line. The hotel has operated continuously at 180 Wallace Street since 1859. Part of the Braidwood Hotel series.
