Statement of Significance

Physical Description
The Gnowangerup Hotel is situated in Allardyce Street, Gnowangerup. Previous
to the building of the railway line, Gnowangerup was known as the 'dry place' with
no accommodation or facilities for refreshment. The influx of railway workers
resulted in the building of the Gnowangerup Hotel. The bricks for the hotel were
made locally by W Parker. Wood and iron were brought from Broomehill by
wagons and horses. The first proprietor was Mr Bobby Norris. It is said that on
the opening night 500 sovereigns were taken.
