The Bank Of New South Wales Building, 1856, Renaissance Revival bank building in Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia.
The Bank of New South Wales building features Ionic columns on the lower level and Corinthian columns with ornate decorations on the upper section.
Architect Joseph Reed won a design competition in 1856, receiving a £75 prize for his architectural plan of the Bank of New South Wales building.
The preserved facade now stands at the University of Melbourne's School of Design, reflecting the integration of historical architecture into modern educational spaces.
Located at 368-374 Collins Street, the building maintains its original facade despite the internal structure being rebuilt in 1932 due to structural issues.
Sculptor Charles Summers created detailed carvings for the facade, incorporating figures holding flowers and fruits alongside decorated wreaths.
