How is it Significant?
The former ES&A Bank at 139 Nelson Place, Williamstown is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.
Why is it Significant?
Historically, it was the second suburban branch of the fifteen ES&A banks known to have been built in Victoria and was also the first major purpose built bank branch in Williamstown. It demonstrates the development of Nelson Place as the main commercial centre in Williamstown in the nineteenth century. (AHC criteria A4 and D2)
Aesthetically, it is a successfully designed near original example of a Medieval style uncommon in commercial architecture of that date, also contributory by way of counterpoint to the surrounding streetscape.
