The Bischoff Hotel, a heritage-listed Edwardian Federation Style establishment built in 1909, stands as a significant landmark in Waratah, Tasmania. Originally constructed by local carriers for Boags Brewery, this concrete structure takes its name from the nearby Mount Bischoff, named after James Bischoff, chairman of the Van Diemen's Land Company in 1828.
The hotel's history is marked by several reconstructions due to fires that affected the original timber structure built in the 1870s. Notably, the Mount Bischoff Mine, associated with the hotel, was the first industrial plant in Australia to be lit by electric light in 1883, adding to the site's historical significance.
