Statement of Significance
The shop duplex, 37-39 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. The shop duplex is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although partially altered, it demonstrates original or appropriate design qualities of a restrained interwar commercial style. These qualities include the simple, dominant and curved two bayed parapet, slightly projecting parapet pilasters with incised elongated rectangular panels, and the incised rectangular signage panels. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the bullnosed verandah and galvanised corrugated iron cladding, metal framed shop front windows, ingoes with timber and glazed doors, glazed tile surrounds and the highlights above the shopfronts. The shop duplex is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with development of the commercial area in St Arnaud in the inter war period. Overall, the shop duplex is of LOCAL significance.
