In May 1865, the publican Margaret Maule complained to the council:

From Mrs Margaret Maule, of the Rose of Denmark Hotel, Creswick road, calling the Council's attention to the dangerous state of the water channel in front of her premises. Referred to the Town Surveyor for report. [2]

In September and December 1866 Patrick Sheeran applied for the publican's license:

I PATRICK SHEERAN, now residing at Creswick road, in the borough of Ballarat, do hereby give notice, that it is my intention to apply to the Justices sitting at the Court of Petty Sessions, to be holden at Ballarat on the third day of January, 1867, for a Certificate authorising the issue of a Publican's License for a house situated at Creswick road, in the borough of Ballarat, in the colony of Victoria. The house is my own property, it is built of wood; it contains a bar, bar-parlor, two sitting, six bed-rooms, kitchen, stables, &c., and known as the Rose of Denmark Hotel. The 20th day of December, A D. 1866 (Signature of applicant) PATRICK SHEERAN. THOMAS JARDINE pro, WILLIAM HOGARTH, Clerk of Petty Sessions. Ballarat, 20th December, 1866.[3]

The wooden hotel building, and renamed as the Vine Hotel, was destroyed by fire in May 1883.[4]
