Built in 1859 this was originally a store - the largest in the district. Later that year the ES&A Bank rented office space within the building. Victoria Stores were once located at the rear of the building but this adjunct was pulled down, probably when the Bank purchased the entire building in 1875. They added extensions in 1885, designed by William Wardell, including the downstairs ballroom. This was the birthplace Sir George Fuller, NSW premier in the 1920s.
