Lockyer Hotel, Heritage-listed hotel in Forest Hill, Queensland, Australia.

The Lockyer Hotel is a two-storeyed timber building on the corner of Victoria and William Streets in Forest Hill, with a truncated entrance corner, hipped corrugated iron roof and verandahs on both levels. An L-shaped single-storeyed weatherboard annex extends east, incorporating the fireplace, chimney and stove of the original outhouse kitchen. Upstairs, small rooms flank a central corridor and open onto a deep verandah with iron lace balustrades.

Built in 1906 for farmer Alexander McAllister, the Lockyer Hotel was the town's third hotel, licensed to Frederick William Wilson and then to Janet Meredith, who bought it in 1911. It stayed in the Meredith family until 1969, and the rear dining annex was added in the late 1970s.

This hotel served as a central meeting place for the Forest Hill community, particularly when the town emerged as a hub for agricultural trade. The spaces inside reflect the social habits of rural Queensland life during that period.

The hotel stands on the corner of Victoria and William Streets, with a truncated entrance corner facing the intersection and an L-shaped single-storey annex to the east. Upstairs rooms open onto a deep verandah along a central north-south corridor, and the eastern verandah has been partly closed in.

The batten screens under the verandah form arches and carry small decorative holes at their ends, a detail easily missed from the street. The upstairs rooms are small and line a single north-south corridor, each opening onto the deep verandah. The annex keeps the fireplace, chimney and stove of the original outhouse kitchen.
