1977 listed in Annual Report2024 January Fred Harvison advised: This is NAB at Campsie. It is on the site of the old CBC Branch which obviously was demolished some time ago and the site redevoped.
I started at Campsie in March 1962. Bruce Murray was Manager, Laurie Paull (Accountant), Terry Phillips (No1 Teller), Paul Hill (No2), Irene Coombes (Ledger Supervisor), Patty Delahunty (Machinist), Helen Lewis (Batch Clerk), Helen Yule (Extra), Me (Junior).
I grew up in Campsie, went to Campsie School and was confirmed at St John's CofE.
I took the photo last Monday as I had an urge to take a nostalgia trip back to my old stamping grounds. Besides it now being a mix of Campsie, Soeul, Saigon and Hong Kong I still recognised many of the places from 1944-1967 while I lived there. Ah...nostalgia! Pity there's no photo of the old branch. The residence was on the top with access from Amy Street. The branch entrance was actually on the corner of Beamish and Amy Streets, with the external wooden front doors actually curved and led to a normal entrance with two glass doors. |

2018 June lamp from original Chatswood branch donated. Alan Pitt advised: It is missing the flew and by strange coincidence I have a spare which will be forwarded to Noel. I have an identical lamp and from my research your lamp will be complete when the flew is attached. These lamps originate from the USA and would be approx circa 1910. They were used minus the usual bulbous type glass shade which always restricted the actual light and these lights were used well into the 1940’s particularly in country regions which were devoid of electricity. |

Heritage Listed: A small building with a stylish streetscape presence at an important corner on the very edge of the Council area, as though signifying the entrance to the suburb.

Physical Description: Inter-War Free Classical. This two-storeyed building is sited on an acute-angled corner and is irregularly shaped. It has brown face-brick walling in stretcher bond, with cement rendered trim including a band at the upper window sill level and a fanlight motif. Projecting from the splayed corner there is a semicircular portico marked by a pair of Tuscan columns in antis between flanking pilasters. Above this there is a small balcony with bronze balustrading and a recessed doorcase enframed by a Palladian window motif. Above this, and continuing around the perimeter walls, there is a parapet which rises from a modillioned cornice and has squat pediment motifs rising above both the splay and the secondary north entrance.

An important streetscape item as a part of a major intersection with a cohesive group of interwar commercial buildings on each corner. Of the five corner buildings, this is the earliest, though it has had its characteristic detailing modified. Continuous use as a bank since construction.
Two storey rendered brick corner building, faceted around the corner, with the entrance in the corner facet. Low parapet with hipped corrugated iron roof has a simple cornice line. Door and window openings are rectangular. Semi-circular dormer ventilator projects from roof behind corner facet.This building is designed in the Victorian Regency. Inter-War Stripped Classical style.
Originally (1919) a face brick building with stucco string courses at window sill levels and Italianate cornice to parapet. Entrance door had semi-circular fanlight with stucco moulding around architrave and there was a cantilevered semi-circular iron verandah on first floor level above the entrance.
