Statement of Significance
The corner shop has historic significance as the only remaining store in the once bustling town of Sandstone. It has fulfilled an essential role in supplying goods to local residents. In addition, the building has high streetscape value.
Physical Description
This timber framed building is clad with corrugated iron and features many original internal fittings such as timber shelving. A lean-to verandah roof protects the front facade (west elevation). A disused pump stands in front of the shop. A timber fridge structure is located at the rear of the shop. It is collapsing in part and shows evidence of bad white ant damage.
History
The shop was the General Store in Sandstone for many years. It also provided power from a generator for a number of local residents. [Local knowledge] The Sandstone Co-operative was formed on 22 June, 1975 in order to keep the General Store open. It disbanded the following month.
