Statement of Significance

The place is significant for its architectural and streetscape value. There is historical significance in the place being the first bank in Corrigin and the continuity of function of a banking institution.

Physical Description

The one storey brick structure has a rendered street facade which conceals the corrugated iron roof. The residence adjoins the rear of the bank, and has a front entry on the south side. The bank frontage is classical in its proportion and detail. A central design element within the detailed parapet is a pediment with patterned stucco detail. Above each of the central windows either side of the central door, is a small pediment detail. The entry is recessed within horizontally banded pilasters with a flat canopy supported by decorative stucco supports. The corners of the front also have pilasters with horizontal banding. The entire facade is painted white. Originally the pilasters were a light colour and the remainder of the facade was face brick work. The addition on the north side on the street frontage is assymetrical to the classic balance of the place. It is unadorned with a parapet wall and light coloured render finish as for the remainder of the bank frontage.

History

The National Bank was the first bank in Corrigin, after having been a receiving office for some years previous to building this bank. The first manager was Mr FJ Doust. The Bank continues to trade, and the staff still reside in the adjoining residential accommodation.
