| Last updated on - August 17, 2004 The former Bank of Victoria, 40 Kings Avenue, St. Arnaud, has significance as one of the early bank buildings in the town. It was constructed in 1869 to a design by Smith and Watts, although the Bank soon moved to another premises in the ensuing years as a result of the advancement of the town further northwards. The former Bank of Victoria building is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian Regency style. These qualities include the hipped roof form clad in slate tiles, brick (but not painted) wall construction, substantial rendered brick chimney with a projecting cornice, modest overhangs with intricate brackets, symmetrical windows and central recessed front door - all with drip moulds and moulded architraves that rest on the dressed granite plinth, base window walls with incised rectangular panels, timber framed double hung windows, door surrounds and highlights, and the imposing rendered quoinwork at the building corners. The former Bank of Victoria is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the earliest bank developments in the earlier central location of the St. Arnaud township. In particular, it is associated with the development of the Bank of Victoria from 1869 until it moved to new premises following the advancement of the town further northwards in the latter 19th century. The building is also associated with the architects, Smith and Watts. The former Bank of Victoria is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised by the St. Arnaud community as having public value as one of the early bank buildings in the town. Overall, the former Bank of Victoria is of LOCAL significance. |
