History

In early Junction, this was the busiest spot, feeding and housing visiting ranch teams and providing horses and buggies for public hire. Men gathered here to gossip and trade. John Allen built it on this lot in 1879, where a public corral had operated as early as 1877, and it was owned by T. M. Hodges when automobiles made it outmoded in the 1920s.
