Balmain, bank

This historic bank building is located on Darling Street in the inner west suburb of Balmain. Built in 1903 for the Bank of New South Wales, it was designed by architects John Sulman and Joseph Power. This Victorian architectural design features a triangular pediment with a coat-of-arms, supported by corinthian columns. The design features symbols found in the official coat-of-arms granted to the state of New South Wales in 1906 such as the wheat sheaf, golden fleece, rising sun and southern cross.
