Description
Jubilee Stores is a commercial building dated 1897. It is constructed of painted stucco with deep-eaved slate roofs supported by long timber brackets, and features crested ridge tiles. The building has an L-shaped footprint, with a hipped roof over the front range. The structure incorporates red and black brick chimneys, one on the roof hip and one on the southern end of the rear range. It rises two and a half storeys, with a broad two-bay front. The upper floors feature rusticated quoins and the ground floor angles are defined by channelled piers. A large, central gable breaks the eaves, featuring bargeboards on arch-braces sprung from corbels. This gable contains a pair of horned plate-glass sash windows within keyed surrounds. The first floor has two large timber canted oriels with dentil and modillion cornices, which are continued across the centre to display the inscription 'Jubilee Stores 1897' in bold relief capital letters, topped with a relief crown. The full-width shopfront has a modillion cornice and fascia above a double shop window canted into a deeply recessed half-glazed door. The windows are plate glass with small brackets in the corners and long, narrow top-lights. The shopfront is further defined by outer pilasters with curved-topped consoles framing the fascia and cornice.
The return front to Bridge Street is similarly elaborate, with two eaves-breaking dormers featuring bargeboards, collars, curved struts, and spike finials, each situated over a single sash framed to resemble a pair. This front also mirrors the first floor with a pair of oriels, a very small framed sash with a keystone between them, and a ground floor with a long dentil cornice above the window, door, and window to the left, and a shop window to the right. The left-hand door is six-panelled with an overlight; the right-hand shop window has a mid transom and three panes below a single large pane, and a narrow top light. Both the door and shop window are framed by pilasters with console brackets. The left-hand gable of the return front exhibits deep verges, a finial, and a single attic sash to the right, framed with a keystone.
Inside, a large ground floor shop features a central cast iron column.
