Historic - one of the first substantial buildings built in the Gnowangerup townsite, prior to this most were made of galvanised iron. Social - meeting place for the community, visitors from out of town etc. The railway line ran behind the hotel and would drop travellers off at the hotel.
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.
