North Strathfield, bank

This bank is located on Concord Road, in the inner west suburb of North Strathfield. It is an excellent example of suburban branches built by the Commonwealth bank in the art deco architectural style.

  1. Golly and it has its ATM on the footpath within reach of the ram-raiders!

    Lovely looking building though.

    And that is something else gone by the board - going into a bank.

  4. The bank has cool art-deco style, but, architecturally, Burwood post office is better. IMO...

  6. This is a very sober interpretation of art deco, isn't it?

  7. Your architecture photography is very, very good indeed. The buildings and structures are interesting in themselves.

  8. Great to see this is still a bank. Our Com Bank in Grafton is also in this beautiful style.

  9. Jack, I suppose this was one of many suburban branches that they were building in Sydney at the time, so they probably didn't go overboard with the art deco features on all of them. This building really stands out in this suburb because others are rather plain in comparison.

  10. It’s an attractive building. I hope they keep it as a bank branch.

  11. In small American towns, there always seems to be a movie theater from this era.

    I really love Art Deco architecture--not much of it here in Beirut, unfortunately.

  14. Interesting.That you should have a Commonwealth Bank, though we don't see much of the Commonwealth.

  15. They must have built a branch in every suburb in Sydney in that style. Shame most of the art deco theaters in Sydney are gone.
