Former Marnoo General Store, 17 Newall Street, MARNOO - Physical Description 1
The Marnoo Generally Store, 17 Newall Street, Marnoo, is set on the front boundary and forms an imposing building in the street.
The single storey, rudimentary early 20th century store is characterised by multi-gabled roof forms behind a substantial sheeted rectangular parapet with the sign: "Marnoo General Store". The gabled roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron.
An early feature of the design is the shopfronts, with their metal framed shopfront windows and timber and glazed doors, together with the white glazed tiled surrounds. The projecting verandah/canopy with valance hoarding also appears to be early, and deteriorated in different sections. It is supported by tubular steel posts that appear to have been introduced.
The side horizontal timber weatherboard and strapped cement sheet wall cladding and the timber framed double hung window are also early design features.
