English, Scottish and Australian Bank, The Rocks
English, Scottish and Australian Bank, The Rocks, Heritage bank building in The Rocks, Australia.
The sandstone structure at 131-135 George Street features a two-story facade with slate roofing in the Venetian Gothic Revival architectural style.
The site transformed from Australia's first hospital in 1788 to residential spaces before the English, Scottish and Australian Bank opened its branch in 1885.
The building represents the evolution of banking institutions in Australia, reflecting British financial practices and architectural influences in colonial Sydney.
The former bank currently functions as a restaurant, allowing visitors to experience dining within a heritage structure listed on the State Heritage Register.
William Wardell designed this rare example of a stone Gothic Revival bank building, which includes decorative elements and a bold facade characteristic of 1880s architecture.
