Australian Government Department of EWHA - Statement of Significance: Notable example of the architects Smith and Johnson where works epitomise the best qualities of conservative classicism. The form of the building and the first floor windows are typical of Smith and Johnson's style and bank architecture generally. A distinctive feature which makes this particular bank unusual is the ground floor motif with stilted segmental arcuated system and stylised pilasters. The bank is prominently located and an essential element of this interesting historic area. (The Commission is in the process of developing and/or upgrading official statements for places listed prior to 1991. The above data was mainly provided by the nominator and has not yet been revised by the Commission.) | Description: The CBC Bank, Eaglehawk was erected in 1881 for the Bank of Victoria. The architects were Smith and Johnson. The two storey brick structure has a rendered facade and is located on a corner site. The corner is chamfered and contains the principal entrance. The ground floor is composed of a stilted segmental arcuated system, each facade is terminated by broad stylised pilasters. The arched first floor windows have architrave and hood mouldings. | Condition and Integrity: The new ground floor windows are not compatible with the building, the building otherwise has an intact exterior. It is still in use as a bank and appears to be structurally sound. | Bibliography:

The much large NBA branch No 2 is next door on the corner of Binney & Railway Streets. That building is now listed for sale by auction on 30/10/2010."
