Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions, other than those specified above, are not significant.
Aesthetically, the building is a superior example within the Shire of a large timber Federation shop. The large frontage, almost double that of a classic federation commercial building, the intact recessed entryway, the original straight roof verandah and the parapet illustrate a reasonably intact property of high heritage integrity. The building also significantly contributes to the aesthetic of Poowong. (Criterion E)

POOWONG PIONEER STORE - Physical Description 1
The Poowong Pioneer Store at 5 Nyora Road, Poowong is a large gabled single storey weatherboard building with a reconstructed front parapet and a straight roofed street verandah. The parapet expresses the gable end with a horizontal sign panel extending above the roof line to the eaves. The ends of the sign panel are decorated with finial posts and scrolls above the parapet.The gable end has a small arched frame and finial. The verandah has turned posts, probably dating from the later modification and a segmentally arched valance. The building is divided internally and externally into two parts, the larger to the east, having an early timber framed shopfront with a recessed entry. The smaller section has one double hung window. The early photograph shows a window in the upper gable end, which possibly lit an early attic, but which is not included in the reconstruction. This building was probably originally two separate parallel structures, each with a gable roof, which may have been combined (hence the internal posts), but which is now united under the large gable on which the verandah and parapet have been constructed. There is a large two storey stable (?) building behind the store to the east.
