The Grand Junction Hotel was an impressive 3-storey building in a prominent site at the junction of the Left and Right Branches of Stringer’s Creek. It was built in 1865 by John Williams as the Junction Hotel, and given its new name in 1872 by the new owner, William Fuller. There is a funny story about a cow entering the third storey from Church Hill Road just behind. It had to be led down two flights of stairs and out the front door! With the decline in the town, the hotel was delicensed in 1913. It was later dismantled, part of it being taken to Traralgon. This old fireplace is all that remains today. A nearby sign gives a little more information. Its great situation (apart from likelihood of flooding!) can be seen in this old photograph (Grand Junction Hotel on the right).
