SHOP - Physical Description 1
The shop at 62 Main Street is a small rectangular brick structure with a corrugated iron roof hidden by parapet walls. The visible side wall is face brick with one small window. The street front is composed of a pair of end pillars in brick with the shopfront between. The pillars are set slightly forward and continue up beyond the main parapet, terminated by two rows of bricks corbelled outwards forming a capping. The main parapet above the shopfront is topped by a row of projecting brickwork. The fronts of the pillars and the main parapet wall appear to be clad or rendered. The door to the shopfront is probably recent, but appears to be timber and is within a timber frame, and reached by two steps. It is set within an ingo (inset doorway) located off centre, allowing a large display window to the south. The windows are timber framed, set above a solid plinth (painted tiles) and follow the line of the boundary and the ingo. There may be a highlight window above the main window, which is now covered.
The arrangement of brick piers and metal framed windows with a door located in an ingo is typical of shops from the 1920s to the early 1950s in Victoria.
