The store is sited on the corner of Cowabbie and Loughnan Streets, Coolamon.
It has two main facades addressing the street frontages with a wide, timber-framed and corrugated iron-roofed wrap-around verandah.
The store is constructed of brick with a timber framed roof sheeted with corrugated iron, timber doors and windows.

The parapet features a rendered cornice, stucco finish above the cornice and a rendered moulding at the top of the parapet.
Within the parapet are smooth rendered panels for signage.
The parapet includes short vertical projections at intervals along its length, and the central section is formed into a curvilinear pediment.
The easternmost vertical projection is also a chimney.

At the corner, the store is chamfered in plan with the corner entrance doors and above which is the focal feature of the parapet.
This feature is styled similar to the southern elevation parapet but has a more prominent pediment rising to a small obelisk.
The body of this section of the parapet has a blind arch element which is smooth rendered inside for signage.
The date "1909" surmounts this.

The Store Building is an example of the Federation Free Style (the style dates from about 1890 until about 1915) and displays the following key features: prominent skyline feature, (especially the corner parapet element) and strongly contrasting materials, textures or colours, (such as the brickwork and rendered bands and parapet).
Other features of the style displayed by the building include: projecting corner tower feature, (though in this case it is a corner projection of the parapet rather than a three dimensional feature); curvilinear parapet features; circular recess in the corner parapet element, and Art Nouveau motif in the verandah post brackets.

The store's interior has two large main spaces with three minor partitioned rooms and a short corridor at the rear of the building.
The interior brick walls are painted and there are timber internal walls.
The floor is timber as are the counters, benches and shelves.
Rooms 1 and 2 originally had mirror fit outs.
Room 1 contains its original counters and benches and most of its shelving (though not in their original locations).
Room 2 contain one of its original four counters and many of its benches and shelving.

The store features the substantial surviving components of a Lamson Cash Carrier system that was gravity-operated with hollow wooden balls rolling down an inclined track.
The system allowed money to be collected at four counters inside the store which would then be sent to an office for safekeeping and where, if necessary, change would be issued and sent back to the counter staff for delivery to a customer.
The system operated between Rooms 1 and 2, (where sales would have been made at the counters), and Room 5 (where money would have been collected and change provided).
The system is not operational, but could easily be made so.
There are four pairs of tracks.
All of the track system survives in Room 1 and about half in Room 2.
Only one (of the original two) delivery/loading mechanisms is in place in each of Rooms 1 and 2.
Room 1 contains a second disassembled delivery/loading mechanism.
Room 5 contains intact delivery/loading mechanisms for all four tracks.
Council holds several timber balls.

The north shed (that replaced the original stables after 1932) has early, possible original, components as well as later repairs and alterations.
It contains an early blacksmith's forge.
The north-western shed was built in 1998 and replaced an original timber and iron shed located in the present garden area.
