Statement of Significance

The prominent architect, Leonard Terry, was the designer of this two storey rendered brick building which was completed in 1863 for the Colonial Bank.
This is one of many banks by the same designer in the Italian Renaissance style. The arched central entrance door leads into a lofty banking chamber, with the manager's residence on the first floor.
Although altered for use as a private residence and then for restaurant use, the building is still reasonably intact, including the banking chamber with two cast iron columns and an elaborate plaster coffered ceiling.
The miscellaneous additions to the rear of the building are not included.
Classified: 27/05/1982
