Commonwealth Bank, 63 Victoria St, Mackay, QLD, Australia - Australian Heritage Sites on Waymarking.com

The Commonwealth Bank building was constructed in 1880 for the Australian Joint Stock Bank and is the oldest commercial building in Mackay. The Australian Joint Stock Bank Limited became the Australian Bank of Commerce in 1910 and traded under that name until 1931 when it was acquired by the Bank of New South Wales. In 1934 the Commonwealth Savings Bank moved into the building. The bank building is a two-storey building with a former residence on the upper floor.
The frontage consists of a seven bay colonnade, of which the central bay is slightly narrower, but contains the entry and features a projecting one-storey portal, the entablature of which is free standing. The upper storey has slender cast iron columns and the balustrade is formed with cast iron lace with a pattern based on overlapping circles.
Since the Commonwealth Bank vacated the property in the early 2000's the building has fallen into disrepair.
