Statement of Significance
The former Lorimers Grocery building, 110 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. It is known to have been the location for Lorimers Grocery store during that time. The former Lorimers Grocery building is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although it has experienced some alterations, it still demonstrates original design qualities of a restrained interwar commercial style. These qualities include the plain, dominant parapet accentuated with a corbelled stringcourse near the upper reaches, and the chamfered corner. Other intact qualities include the form of the skillion verandah and valance hoarding, metal framed shopfronts with ingoes, timber and glazed doors, leadlighted highlights, arched openings above the ingoes on two shopfronts, glazed tile surrounds, circular stylised ventilation tiles, painted and rendered brick wall construction (including the side facade), timber framed double hung side windows, raised rear section with a painted brick and corbelled chimney and galvanised corrugated iron roof that traverses the site. The former Lorimers Grocery building is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the development of the Lorimer grocery business from the 1920s. Overall, the former Lorimers Grocery building is of LOCAL significance.
