Statement of Significance

The ANZ Bank, Kerang was erected in 1889 for the London Chartered Bank. The architects were Oakden, Addison and Kemp.
The two storey brick structure includes banking chamber, manager's residence and detached stables.
The building is among the notable group of Queen Anne style banks designed by Henry Kemp in the late 1880s. Kemp is among the greatest exponets of this style in Australia. This particular example is exceptionally intact and demonstrates the style's principal characteristics of steep pitched gable roofs, tall elaborate chimneys,a pointed arch to the main door to the banking chamber and to the first floor windows, under the verandah, are interesting features.
