Information

The Junction Hotel was licenced in 1866. The Junction served as the outlying southern gateway into Brisbane, and thus an important resting stop. Although the details are sketchy we know that fire had destroyed the earlier hotel building, and was replaced another wooden hotel. A third hotel building was erected on the site in 1887 by John Neil who also owned a quarry in Weller Hills. The stones from the quarry were used in the construction of the hotel. Neil had a small cottage adjutant. On the hotel corner was also a blacksmith, saddler, wheelwright, and butchers.
