History
This is one of a significant group of houses/buildings in Frederick St with considerable heritage value as a precinct. It seems this residence was originally built in 1850 by John McKail. It was converted to the first Albany branch of the National Bank in 1875. It seems the building once had a shingle roof, which has since been covered or replaced with corrugated iron. Note – this building has also been located in some records as being on Burgoyne Street.
