Westpac Bank Building, Cooktown, Heritage bank building in Cooktown, Australia
The Westpac Bank Building stands as a two-story brick structure with corrugated iron roof and timber verandahs on Charlotte Street in Cooktown.
Built in 1891 as Queensland National Bank during the Palmer River gold rush, the building served the financial needs of miners and settlers.
The architectural design by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley incorporates classical elements with colonnades, arched windows, and decorative string courses.
The building contains preserved internal features including plaster ceilings with cornices, ceiling roses, cedar doors, and carved staircases.
Following its transition from banking operations, the structure now provides ATM services while maintaining its status on the Queensland Heritage Register.
