Congratulations to the owners of the Coolamon Hotel and GPG Architecture who have just won the President's Prize in the National Trust [NSW] 2026 Heritage Awards - for the restoration of this beautiful old building. Just wish they would fix the opening date - it was 1883 not 1880.
This was the 2nd major prize, with the project having already won the MBA Riverina Murray Region 2026 Excellence In Building Awards in the following categories: Restoration of an Historic Building; Outdoor Landscaping; and Interior and Shop Front.
