Statement of Significance

The National Bank's Western Branch was built in 1939-39 to a design by the influential modernist architects, Meldrum and Noad. The building is highly reflective of the conservatism of banking in this era and is an exceptional example of substantial, restrained modernism. It was the winner of the Victorian Intstitute of Architects Street Architecture Medal in 1942.
