Selby General Store - Physical Description 1
The Selby General Store is located within the small commercial centre of Selby on the Belgrave Gembrook Road, close to the Selby railway station. It includes a rectangular plan, gable roofed building with a more recent skillion roofed addition to the west. The single storey shop is raised above street level and has a narrow, elevated walkway extending the length of the General Store with a modern cantilevered verandah overhead.
The General Store is a single fronted shop dating from the 1930s with a gable end roof form and a symmetrical facade. The gable end has a fibrous cement cladding with strapped timber to the edges and a small triangular lattice vent below the apex of the gable. There is a minimal roof overhang with boxed eaves.
The symmetrical shopfront has a centrally located, recessed front door with splayed panels to either side, flanked by large rectangular windows. The openings are timber framed with multi-pane highlight opaque glass windows. Materials include fibrous cement sheet to the southern elevation and timber boards to the east.
The more recent addition to the west has a similarly detailed symmetrical shopfront, with a central, recessed door and square windows. The skillion roof is obscured from the street by a gabled parapet decorated with vertical timber straps.
The interior of the shop retains some of its original features including a pressed metal ceiling beaded timber dado. The former external wall to the west includes openings providing access to the modern extension.Selby General Store - Physical Conditions
