Don Bank, House museum in North Sydney, Australia

Don Bank stands as a single-story timber slab cottage with a symmetrical facade, featuring four main rooms arranged around a central hallway.

Built between 1853 and 1858 on Edward Wollstonecraft's land grant, the structure initially operated under the name St Leonards Cottage before becoming Don Bank.

The museum displays focus on local residential life through exhibits about former occupants, including Benjamin Jenkins, who served as Mayor of St Leonards.

The museum opens every Wednesday from 12 PM to 3 PM between February and mid-December, with free admission for all visitors.

The structure represents North Sydney's oldest wooden house, preserved among modern office buildings through community action in the late 1970s.
