The existing bank building was constructed for the Bank of Australasia in 1859-60 to designs by Melbourne architects, Purchas and Swyer. The Bank of Australasia and the Union Bank amalgamated in 1951 and became the Australian and New Zealand Bank .The facades of the three storey bank building were constructed of Barrabool Hills sandstone in an Italian Renaissance palazzo style. By 1956 these stone facades had deteriorated to such an extent that they were covered with a brick veneer
The manager’s residence occupied the two upper floors with access provided by a separate entrance through double doors from Gheringhap Street, The dining room and drawing room were on the first floor and the bedrooms on the second floor .
The bank moved to premises in the main shopping area approx 10years ago and the building now houses an accountants
