Bellevue Darling Range Hotel, Bellevue.

Summary

Bellevue Darling Range Hotel (formerly Darling Range Hotel) is a hotel in Bellevue, Western Australia, on the end of the slope on the Great Eastern Highway at the bottom of Greenmount Hill and just north of the former Bellevue railway station, and over the road from the Helena Vale Racecourse. The locality known earlier as 'Helena Vale' and 'East Midland', was near the border of the council in the hills above 'Greenmount Road Board' - (now Shire of Mundaring), and the 'Midland Junction Council' (now City of Swan). In the First World War, it was the nearest hotel to the Blackboy Hill army camp. It was started as the East Midland Hotel, on the earlier name for the highway - the York Road. Despite the name the local councils called it 'The Bellevue Hotel'. The hotel was licensed in 1905, and its outward appearance changed over the years with change of owners and managers and circumstances.
