      72 Hesse Street is of timber construction and may have derived some of its fabric from the previous house on the site.(8) The building facade has a scalloped and stepped parapet which covers the high gable, and intact timber - frame shop front and recessed double entry doors. The fourpost, bullnose - roof verandah has been recently reconstructed.

      It is one of three, single storey shops in this part of Hesse Street; each reflecting different eras in the commercial development of the town.

      Extract from the 2009 study

      72 Hesse Street is a single-storey weatherboard shop on the west side of Hesse Street between Hobson and Stokes streets. A tall timber parapet partially conceals the view from the street of the building's gable roof which is clad in corrugated galvanised steel sheeting. The sides of the shop are clad in weatherboards. On the north side of the building is a door with a hood above it. A verandah with a convex profile roof and timber posts that extends across the shopfront facade was reinstated in the c. 1980s.
