Salvation Army Citadel, 50 Main Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The Salvation Army Citadel building dominates its site at 50 Main Street, Stawell. It is surrounded by commercial buildings.
The symmetrical, single storey, unpainted brick, interwar Free Classical styled Salvation Army Citadel is characterised by a parapetted gable roof form. The symmetry of the design is identified in the main gable end elevation, which has a central bay and terminating broad, stepped piers having incised darker brick construction, rectangular panels and vertical recessions, projecting stringcourses, square reliefs and soldier course cappings. The central bay is flanked by projecting vestigial pilasters capped with soldier course cappings, with a pedimented drip mould above. The central bay is further accentuated by the stepped gable parapet. The glazed double door openings are introduced and have a fanlight window above. This window is accentuated by an arched drip mould. The upper reaches of the central bay contains the sign "The Salvation Army Citadel". Above the central bay is a blind oculi window.
Flanking the central bay are 8 paned double hung windows with segmentally arched darker brick voussoirs and sills. The building rests on a darker brick base. The rear of the building has flanking, parapetted and flat roof side porches with introduced doors.
The gable roof is has galvanised iron roof vents near the ridge. A pole crowns the left front pier.
