A Question of Attribution

12/10/16

There is strong evidence to indicate that local Portland architect John Barrow was only involved in administrative capacity and did not design the ANZ Bank (originally the Union Bank) or the 1856 Bank of Australasia (demolished) at Portland. The Union Bank was designed by Nathaniel Billing (State Library of Victoria  PCLTEFBOX BILLING ALBUM) and the Bank of Australasia by John Gill (ANZ Archives). Barrow's obituary indicates that Barrow worked principally as an engineer.
