Shop, 120 Main Street, STAWELL

The building at 120 Main Street, Stawell, is historically and architecturally significant at a CONTRIBUTORY level. Although the main facade has been greatly altered, the rear hipped roof form clad in galvanised corrugated steel, face red brick wall construction (including the parapeted walls but not the rear skillion section) and the face red brick chimneys contribute to the historical and architectural amenity of the area. The shopfront has been replaced from the original Victorian shopfront. The existing shopfront is a relatively intact, good example of a metal and tiled shopfront from the interwar years. 

Opportunities may be available for the appropriate reconstruction of the 19th century facade through an historical lithograph held by the Stawell Historical Society (the building was earlier known as W. Whiteside and Co., Tailors and Gentlemen's General Outfitters) and by replicating some of the details of the neighbouring more intact building at 124 Main Street.
