READ ORCHARD COOL STORE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former cool store associated with Read orchard has been converted into a house. Externally, the gable-roofed form of the cool store remains clearly apparent. It appears to have been a timberframed structure probably with an iron or cement sheet roof. Conversion into a house appears to have involved external changes including: extending the structure in brick, adding verandahs on several sides, reclading and re-roofing.
Inspected March 2005. The structure is so altered as to be unrecognisable. [were the side verandahs filled in? do we have the right building in the photo? Where is the brick extension mentioned?]
