Statement of Significance
The Bank of New South Wales and its attached offices at 116 Mollison Street, Kyneton is architecturally of State significance as a fine and early example of the Edwardian Free Style, with design influences almost certainly derived from Robert Haddon's works and applied to commercial premises.
Built in 1903 and 1904, and designed by notable architects Godfrey and Spowers, the two storey red brick facade is divided into three parts, each overlaid with a different decorative treatment indicating a different function within. These divisions are achieved by stucco strap work, steep gables and brick modelling.
Above the complex and asymmetrical facade, the terra cotta tiled roof punctuated by very tall chimneys, unifies the whole composition and lends an air of domesticity to this Arts and crafts inspired commercial building.
The removal of the Art Nouveau-inspired foliage details, the concealment of the lettering and the replacement with new signage has lessened the overall effect of the facade. The building is otherwise remarkably intact both internally and externally.
