Statement of Significance
The former Liverpool Store is of local social significance (Criterion G), for its present use as premises of the Y Service Club, which supports the YMCA and the community, and for its historic use as retail premises. The social value of the property is enhanced by its large scale and prominence at the south end of Kangaroo Flat's main retail strip.

FORMER LIVERPOOL STORE - Physical Description 1
The former Liverpool Store is a double-height brick building located at the south-east corner of Lockwood Road and Dunlop Lane in Kangaroo Flat, with no setback to Lockwood Road. The property was not inspected internally; references to internal elements in the following are from the previous survey carried out in 1998.4
The former store has a square plan and is built on a sandstone base. The break fronted and trabeated front (south) elevation, addressing Lockwood Road, is divided into three bays with a cornice and parapet carried on pilasters. The parapet has a central pediment moulding supported on each side by half ogee cornices. The central entry has a flat head surmounted by a round arch filled in by a recent metal fanlight with slender radial framing. The entry doors are also recent, in four leaves with plate-glass windows and a kick-bar one quarter the way up. The entry, which may have originally been a vehicle entry, is flanked in each bay by a single window, bricked up but possibly always having been blind. The bays are divided by pilasters which break up through the main cornice and rise across the parapet. These have deep indentations (recessed panels) that rise through the parapet. The side and end walls are windowless. With the exception of the rear, all elevations are overpainted. The roof is a four-sided hip, with steel cladding and a proportionally large, similarly hipped and clad central lantern extending over about half the roof area.
A bricked-up door opening at the south end of the east elevation may have provided a connection to the former timber shop that formed part of the original Liverpool Store complex. An embedded angled brick course is evident at the north end of the east elevation, indicating that a gable roofed structure pre-existed the former Liverpool Store in this location.
Inside (as of 1998), the floor is subdivided into a central section with aisles divided by timber posts supporting a complicated system of ties and struts to carry the roof.
The side yard to the building's immediate east is paved in concrete, and the Lockwood Road paving is a mixture of cement with inset brick paving at the Dunlop Lane corner.
