Statement of Significance

The former Commercial Bank built in 1886 for prominent local businessman William C. Farrell, has high local, and possibly regional architectural significance. It is an unusual bank design, probably by the architect Leonard John Flannagan that resembles a residence rather than a traditional bank building. There is no other known Commercial Bank building in Victoria that is similar in design. The building has local significance for its associations with William C. Farrell, a prominent local businessman and hotelier.
