Dandenong House Hotel, 50 Foster Street, Dandenong.

The Dandenong House Hotel, a majestic 40 room guest house with dining room, ground floor tea rooms and an underground kitchen, first opened at 50 Foster Street in 1911.

The growing need for over night accommodation became obvious with the population swell brought on by market day. The site was destroyed by fire in 1977.

A portion of land, now a car park, at the rear of this property was sold been sold by previous owners in 1907 to enable the railways to dig a large trench and create a turn pike for railway engines to be turned around and point back toward Melbourne.
