CBC BANK (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former CBC Bank at 15-17 Commercial Street, Korumburra is an interwar bank with a stark symmetrical double height clinker brick parapet facade which expresses the double height former banking chamber behind, and is relieved with rendered Egyptian motifs.The facade isdominated by apair of slender detached grand order columns in a shallow recess thatsupport a narrow hood over the entry door. On either side are multi-pane metal framed windows with narrow moulded render architraves with false keystones. The Egyptian motif repeats in the moulding of the parapet capping, the columns, the keystones and the entry hood. Above the door is a rendered medallion with the CBC bank logo. Above the door is a rendered medallion with the CBC bank logo.
The sheer two storey facade imparts an imposing street presence and forms an important landmark group with the similarly imposing (though stylistically contrasting) Sutcliffe's Buildings next door.
