Statement of Significance

ANZ Bank, built as an E.S.&A Bank in 1925, is significant to Cardinia Shire as a major commercial building associated with a boom period in Garfield, one of the shire's most prosperous timber towns at that time. The bank is significant, also, as an important element in the Garfield commercial streetscape which dates predominantly from the 1920s. The two-storey clinker brick and stucco bank building with a residence on the upper level, has significance for its near original exterior. The inclusion of the residence is significant as an illustration of the lifestyle of a country bank manager.
