Summary

Hannah Maclurcan took over as licensee of the Wentworth Hotel, Sydney, following the death of her second husband Donald Maclurcan. Under her management, the hotel became fashionable and thrived until the depression years. It began to turn a profit once again in 1936, the year of Hannah's own death. She was survived by her son, Donald Charles Boulton Maclurcan, and her third husband, Robert Lee.
