Statement of Significance
The former Malcolm's Produce Store was built in 1906 on part of the land owned by the Madigan family. It is located in the centre of Penshurst beside the former Shire of Mount Rouse Council Chambers. The first occupants were Alexander Bruce Malcolm and James Robert Malcolm, produce merchants when the land was owned by Ellen Madigan, wife of Timothy Madigan who operated the adjacent general store. By 1912 it was occupied by the Cook family, who remained there until 1980. There has been no architect or builder associated with the design. The former store is in fair condition, and retains an excellent degree of integrity.

MALCOLM'S PRODUCE STORE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Malcolm's Produce Store building is a single storey, symmetrical shop with a post supported timber verandah. The verandah was added later and probably at the same time as the verandah was added to Madigan's General Store. They are identical in their construction. The structure is timber framed with the walls and roof clad in corrugated iron. The facade incorporates a timber front door and two timber windows subdivided into four large panes. Some original signage survives painted onto the inside of one of the panes.
