Statement of Significance

Architecturally, a distinctive and highly successful design, using a style uncommon in 19th century commercial architecture; possessing early decorative use of Australian flora; and superbly sited on an elevated corner site, reinforced by adjacent, contemporary architecture: of State importance.

Historically, of local importance as perhaps the first private national company building in the area and of regional interest as one of a relatively small number of banks built by a now defunct company.
