I love taking photos buildings and houses out of the car window when I am on road trips (I am not driving at the time). So this month will be a selection of my drive by's from various places around N.S.W.
I am beginning with the Hunter region.
One of the few major banks to establish in Cessnock in the post war period and the best example of the Classical Revival in the Centre. Of historic significance as evidence of the confidence of external commercial enterprises in the continued wealth of the coal resources of the South Maitland field. Built at the time of consolidation of the mining towns following the initial surge of population and development in the first decade of the century. Its imposing architectural style illustrates the bank's confidence in the wealth of the coal resource in the 1920s. It is presently used for office and retail space.
