Statement of Significance
The former Hotel and General Store, 429 Kooreh Road, Carapooee, has significance as a legacy of the 19th century commercial developments at Carapooee, and as an example of the Victorian style. Built after 1866, the hotel and general store was the business of Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Edelsten for some years. The building appears to be in fair condition when viewed from the road. The former Hotel and General Store is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although altered, it still demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the hipped roof form that terminates at the rear with the parapeted brick gable end, minor parapeted gable which projects at the rear, and the front brick parapet with the dentillated band. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the brick wall construction, green painted galvanised iron roof cladding, narrow eaves, brick chimneys, single storey height, and the timber framed double hung windows and timber framed doorways. The mature cypresses also contribute to the significance of the place. The former Hotel and General Store is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with commercial developments in Carapooee in the 19th century. In particular, this building has associations with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Edelsten, who instigated construction after 1866 and who ran the hotel and general store business for some years and resided there until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Overall, the former Hotel and General store is of LOCAL significance.
