Mellors Drapery and Haberdashery, Heritage shop in Gayndah, Australia

The single-story concrete building features a symmetrical rectangular layout with large display windows and a timber-supported footpath awning at 28 Capper Street.

The current structure, completed in 1922, replaced the previous Overells store that burned down during the devastating fires of Gayndah's main street in 1921.

The interior space maintains original retail features from the 1920s, including separate merchandise sections for men and women, reflecting shopping patterns of the era.

The store continues its traditional retail operations under the management of John Mellor, providing drapery and haberdashery items to the North Burnett community.

The store contains a metal and timber cash carrier system called a flying fox, which transported money between service areas along taut wires.
