Shop (former ABC Grocery), 35 Napier Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The St. Vincent de Paul Society building, 35 Napier Street, St. Arnaud, makes an architectural and visual contribution to the predominantly Victorian and Federation streetscape.
The single storey, painted brick, Victorian building with an interwar front facade is characterised by a simple dominant curved parapet that is accentuated by a slightly projecting brick capping. The ends of the parapet terminate into streamlined pilasters with stylised rectilinear stepped brackets.
An introduced skillion verandah supported by introduced square hollow steel columns (and clad in recent galvanised steel deck sheeting) separates the ground from the first floor. The ground floor has early metal framed shop front windows that flank a central ingo with a timber and glazed door. The form of the shopfront and ingo may be original (19th century), with substantial alterations during the interwar period. Other interwar features include the glazed tile surround and the highlights above the shopfronts.
