Bank of New South Wales by leggzy

Bank of New South Wales

Another old bank building in The Rock township.
The information sign for this one was a little confusing, but the gist of what I could figure out was that the 1st Bank of New South Wales was opened on this site in 1909 in a tin shed 😳 The new building (which I'm assuming is this building) included office space & an attached bank managers residence (nothing mentioned of when the new building was built). The information sign has it now as private property with no public access - yet the sign on the door gives the hours it is open (office), and the signage at the side indicates its now The Nungar Trading Co.
Maybe all of the above! An eclectic find.

Confusing indeed, an interesting building though. I wonder if there are any discarded bank notes under the floorboards.

Such a distinctive structure! The story makes it even more interesting.

Take your pick. I have driven through The Rock many times but have never stopped there.
When I was in the army and stationed in Bandiana (Wodonga) , one of my NSW mates used to always say that The Rock was his favourite town as it was the first place on the drive north where you could buy Tooheys beer. Not sure that I would consider that a plus though. LOL

Interesting- it does look like it's an official business now instead of a private residence. It sure does look well-taken care of.
