Barrow Creek Hotel
Permanent Declaration
Place
Constructed by the Kilgariffs during 1930-1932, the Barrow Creek Hotel is of architectural and historical value. It remains as the earliest Hotel constructed along the north-south road between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek and retains many of its original and early features including the cellar, patterned cement blockwork, pressed tin ceilings, and most of the windows and doors. Built as a result of increasing traffic on the north-south road during the mineral boom of the late 1920s-early 1930s which saw the development of the Granites and Tennant Creek goldfields and Hatches Creek wolfram field, the Hotel is also noted for its associations with individuals such as Joseph, Eileen and Stephen Kilgariff and also police officer John Creed Lovegrove.
