Statement of Significance
The shop duplex, 37-39 Napier Street, St. Arnaud, makes a significant architectural and visual contribution to the predominantly Victorian and Federation streetscape. The restrained interwar commercial style of the building suggests it was constructed between the 1920s-1940s.
The shop duplex is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although partially altered, it demonstrates original or appropriate design qualities of a restrained interwar commercial style. These qualities include the simple, dominant and curved two bayed parapet, slightly projecting parapet pilasters with incised elongated rectangular panels, and the incised rectangular signage panels. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the bullnosed verandah and galvanised corrugated iron cladding, metal framed shop front windows, ingoes with timber and glazed doors, glazed tile surrounds and the highlights above the shopfronts.
The shop duplex is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with development of the commercial area in St Arnaud in the inter war period.
Overall, the shop duplex is of LOCAL significance.

Two Shops, 37-39 Napier Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The shop duplex, Napier Street, St. Arnaud, makes an architectural and visual contribution to the predominantly Victorian and Federation streetscape.
The single storey, painted brick, restrained interwar commercial styled building is characterised by a simple dominant, and curved two bayed parapet that is punctuated at its ends and centre by slightly projecting pilasters. These pilasters have incised elongated rectangular panels. The parapet also features two large incised rectangular signage panels.
An introduced but appropriate bullnosed verandah (supported by introduced square timber columns, clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron and decorated with cast iron valances and brackets) separates the first floor from the ground floor.
The ground floor has early metal framed shop front windows and ingoes with timber and glazed doors. Other interwar features of the design include the glazed tile surround and the highlights above the shopfronts.
