General Store and Soft Drink Manufacturers (Hemleys), 6001 Donald-Stawell Road, CALLAWADDA - Physical Description 1
The former General Store and Hemley's Cordial Factory, 6001 Donald-Stawell Road, Callawadda, consists of at least five single storey, gabled buildings with galvanised corrugated iron roofs, together with an adjacent residence. The former General Store has a cream brick main facade with a stepped parapet. This facade appears to have been introduced in the c.1940s-1950s. The side walls have strapped sheet cladding and high small timber framed windows. The neighbouring factory buildings are rudimentary in design and construction, having galvanised corrugated iron walls and simple window and door openings.
The adjacent, asymmetrical, single storey, cement sheet, interwar Bungalow styled residence is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a gable and altered/introduced flat roofed verandah that project towards the road. These roof forms are clad in grey painted galvanised corrugated iron. An introduced galvanised flue adorns the roofline. Broad overhangs with exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves.
Other early features of the design include the timber framed double hung windows, and the round verandah columns. The brick piers may have been introduced, following the original design.
There appear to be have been alterations and additions carried out at the rear.
