Old Junction Hotel is significant for its landmark quality as an important surviving element at Neergabby and the social value for its use as a meeting place at a crossing point of the Moore River and with its associations with the local community and travellers. It contributes to an understanding of the settlement of the district, and is important for its historic associations with original owner Daniel King and builder Matt Wallis. Old Junction Hotel is a rare surviving example of a farmhouse/inn dating from the 1870s.
A single storey rendered masonry dwelling of modest scale in an "L' form. Located on the bank of Gingin Brook, and although close to Gingin Brook Road does not address that frontage. The "front' has a break pitch skillion veranda along the entire length with each end enclosed. There are several steel framed and clad outbuildings in the proximity, none of significance.
The Old Junction Hotel is located at the intersection of the Moore River and Gingin Brook. Daniel King and his wife built a home In the 1860s, that was damaged by floods in 1872. Matt Wallis was engaged to built another dwelling that would be suitable as an Inn. Completed in 1874, it became a successful inn and meeting place for the community. Located on the Old North Road, the dwelling also formed part of the Riverbrook property. After several changes of ownership between 1914 and 1955, Alf Grant renovated the building in 1955.
