Junction Hotel - Physical Description 1
Probably originally a hipped roof two-storey dressed and rubble bluestone hotel it appears that in the early 1870s the present cemented parapeted facade was added to the upper level, encasing the old inn with the new Italian Renaissance derived detailing. The dressed stone ground-level facade and rubble-stone rear walls remain and no doubt explain in part why the hotel is so original, given the difficulties of altering the stone. Valuable timber joinery survives in these lower windows.
Junction Hotel - Integrity
External Integrity
Given above changes, generally original except painting of the exposed stonework. Chimney cornice modified.
