History

Bald Rock was originally a suburb within the municipality of Balmain, so named because of the lack of vegetation in the area. The hotel was built in 1876 and prior to landfill occupied a position close to the Bald Rock ferry, which carried passengers from Balmain to Erskine Street wharf in Sydney city.[2]

The pub is listed on the Inner West Council local government heritage register. The three-storey building with facestone work to ground level has a simple hung awning over the street. The original construction was in the Victorian Filigree style, however removal of the upper level balcony and other modifications now leave a building in the Victorian Free Classical style. The hotel has retained the original sandstone interior.[3]

gollark: Maybe, but it can have POST bodies.
gollark: - gpg is isomorphic to cryoapioform - it is already too late, as I just interfaced this with a JS engine and some HTML layouting stuff and am accessing my email through this; for now, I am using an SSH tunnel, but this is uncool, so security *is* required - additionally, normalizing protection of exactly which content you visit from eavesdroppers is good- it doesn't even have a Content-Length field- but I need to store arbitrarily large indices into metagollarious ultraspace
gollark: Where?
gollark: - lack of TLS, while ALL is to be utterly secured- no extensibility- what if I want to send 1025 bytes
gollark: I don't like this.
