FORMER NATIONAL BANK OF AUSTRALASIA - Physical Description 1
This building constructed in 1863 to the design of Leonard Terry, Architect, is the only gold fields branch of this bank that has traded continuously up to the present day.
The ground floor is rusticated, and the circular lights above the door and window transomes (used only on this bank in Ballarat) are an elegant reflection of the shape of the arcading. The whole composition is surmounted by a prominent cornice, and despite the extra height of this building, it blends well with the two banks on either side.
The building forms part of an important streetscape of four Leonard Terry banks. The grouping of these buildings is unique to the State of Victoria. The extra height of the National Bank, provides a variety of scale to the streetscape. The building is in good condition. Apart from the unsympathetic green-grey paint colour which disrupts the continuity of the streetscape, the alteration to the door (now a window) and the new entrance door, this building is externally intact. The interior has been altered.FORMER NATIONAL BANK OF AUSTRALASIA - Integrity
