Description

Statement Of
Heritage Value

Built in 1889 this was the first hotel in Pine Creek. Except for a period during World War 2 the building operated continuously as a Hotel until its closure in 1959 when the licence was transferred to the present hotel. There are two short periods when it is assumed that the Hotel continued in operation but for which no information has been obtainable. These were 1891-1894 and 1921-1929.
The building is of timber frame construction and galvanised iron sheeting, a style popular in the Top End between 1897-1937. It is one of only a few buildings in Pine Creek which are over 100 years old and demonstrates the type of building which has made up the streetscape of Pine Creek for the whole of the twentieth century.

The building has been associated with a number of well-known local Pine Creek identities as well as the Dowling/Young family which is well known in the Top End of the Northern Territory especially for their involvement in the hotelier business.

Within the block is a rectangular cement lined well, of some 6-8 metres depth. This appears to be one of two left in Pine Creek. In the past, these types of well were a common occurrence throughout the town.
