Constructed in 1858 on the corner of Stevedore Street and Haslam Street (formerly Dover Place), this pub stands as one of the oldest in the area, holding historical and social significance for the City of Hobsons Bay.
Initially owned and operated by Thomas Dudley, it was later acquired one year after its establishment by James Moxham, who ran a butchering firm next door. Today The Napier exists as a private residence, maintaining most of its original 1850s state.

The Westsider is an incorporated association operating as a not for profit. We’re an independent monthly community newspaper for the inner-western suburbs of Melbourne, powered by community journalism and publishing articles written by people who live and work in the inner west. There are many ways you can get involved.
The Westsider is created on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
