| Last updated on - February 12, 1997 What is significant? The former National Bank in Euroa was designed by the architects Tappin, Gilbert and Dennehy and was built in 1885 by O'Dea and Kennedy at a cost of ??5,000. It was the third National Bank built in Euroa within twelve years, reflecting the growth and prosperity of the Euroa region and of northern Victoria at this time. The first bank, a weatherboard hut, and a manager's cottage were built in 1873, following the opening of the railway through Euroa in the same year. The second bank, a single storey brick building on the corner opposite the present bank, with an adjacent manager's residence, was built in 1876, and in December 1878 this was robbed by Ned Kelly and his gang. In 1884 tenders were called for a third building, which included a single story bank and a much larger two storey manager's residence behind it. The National Bank continued to operate from this site until 1969 when it moved to new premises behind the 1880s building, which was sold in 1993. The bank is now privately owned. The former National Bank in Euroa is a Queen Anne style building, with a single storey banking chamber on the corner of Railway Street and a grand two storey manager's residence and a garden behind. Both the bank and residence are of red and cream brickwork with stone detailing, with gabled slate roofs and elaborate chimneys. The former banking chamber has large segmental arched windows with triple lights on two sides, and small ventilation dormers in the roof. The entry porch has been extended towards the south. Internally the banking chamber retains some original features, including the high coved ceiling and deep skirtings. Opening off this room is the former manager's office (which once opened directly into the house), and the safe built by Hobbs, Hart and Co of London. The house is a grand two storey building, which is considerably larger than the bank building. It has a separate recessed entrance porch facing Railway Street and a two storey cast iron and timber verandah overlooking Binney Street. The front door is surrounded by stained glass windows with images of birds, and opens into an entry hall with a cedar staircase leading to the first floor. The bank is one of several polychromatic buildings in this part of Euroa, including the nearby Euroa Hotel (designed by the same architects) and the adjoining public hall, and the post office and court house in Binney Street. How is it significant? The former National Bank in Euroa is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? The former National Bank in Euroa is of historical significance as a demonstration of the boom period of the 1880s for both the State of Victoria and the state's banking institutions, and also reflects the great prosperity of the rich |
