Commonwealth Trading bank building, Bank building in Sydney Central Business District, Australia

The Commonwealth Trading Bank Building stands at the intersection of Pitt Street and Martin Place, featuring Art Deco architectural elements and stone facades.

Designed by architect John Kirkpatrick, the building was constructed between 1913 and 1916 to serve as headquarters for the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

The structure influenced the appearance of money boxes distributed by the Commonwealth Bank to children across Australia starting from 1922.

Located at 120 Pitt Street, the building underwent major renovations from 2011 to 2012, transforming the former banking hall into retail spaces.

The building earned recognition on multiple heritage registers, including the State Heritage Register and National Trust of Australia register.
