Statement of Significance
A Town Hall and municipal office of 1888 by J Beswick with prominent clock tower and classically detailed facade; compatible with the bank on south-east corner of nearby intersection of Glenferrie Road, but they are too separated to form a group. Substantial twentieth century alterations and additions have maintained the character of the facade, but the building is undistinguished at sides and rear.
Classified: 22/07/1977
Part of Historic Area B3751
Group Statement of Significance: Following the gothic stylistic precedent set by Crough and Wilson's Church of the Immaculate Conception in 1869, two commercial and one ecclesiastical Gothic revival designs were added along Burwood Road over the next 35 years to create a stylistically harmonious group. Together with similarities of style and materials, the group includes important individual designs of the former E S & A Bank by Terry & Oakden (1874) and the Catholic presbytery designed by William Ellis in 1882. The last, least distinguished addition was King's funeral parlour in 1904.
