Former Bank of Victoria and Stables, 163 Main Street, STAWELL - Physical Conditions
The former Bank of Victoria building, 163 Main Street, Stawell, makes an important architectural and visual contribution to the streetscape of predominantly 19th century building forms. The building remains today as an important legacy of the financial institutions established in town in the 19th century.
The two storey, unpainted red brick, Victorian Conservative Classical styled former Bank of Victoria building is characterised by a simple rectangular form and a three-bayed composition of window openings. The building has a masonry base with the ground floor facade accentuated by arched openings have simple drip moulds supported by equally simple impost moulds. Two of the openings have early arched timber framed double hung windows with recessed panels below. The end opening appears to have originally been a doorway with a timber framed fanlight, and now has an introduced timber framed and glazed door.
A simple rendered stringcourse separates the ground and floor first facades. The first floor rectangular windows have moulded architraves with projecting rendered sills supported by small brackets. Another minor rendered stringcourse envelopes the building at sill height.
The building is crowned by a large, plain rendered entablature above which is a widely projecting and dentillated cornice and parapet. An early brick chimney with a projecting cornice adorns the roofline.
