Statement of Significance
The Commonwealth Bank (fmr) building makes minimal contribution to the historic streetscape, nor does it impact as it broadly respects the scale and form of the town centre context. The site represents butcher and plumbing trades associations since 1911 and 14 respectively until approximately 1960.
Physical Description
The single storey masonry building is non-descript with a minimally articulated street frontage and simple parapet with a central arched pediment. A skillion veranda with parapet edge signage.
History
In 1911 butcher, William Otto Jager working from a shed on the site. In 1914, Frederick Charles Bramley, a plumber, traded from a shed on the block, and the business continued until his death in 1941 when his wife Stella Mary took over with Mr Prunster, plumber. Around 1960 the Commonwealth bank purchased the site and constructed a contemporary bank building. The York branch of the Commonwealth Bank closed in 2000. It is likely the façade was altered about that time. It is currently the York and Districts Community Bank branch of the Bendigo Bank.
