Five Dock, bank

This heritage listed bank is located along Great North Road, in the inner west suburb of Five Dock. It was built in 1924 in the Georgian/Classical Revival architectural style for The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. The CBC bank merged with the National Bank of Australasia in the 1980s to become the National Australia Bank.

    It looks so stark and square compared to the banks we see in more modern times.

    It does look a tad stark, but if it takes care of business who cares what it looks like! And I do love your blue skies as always, Jim! Have a great new week!

    Quite stylish, particularly when you compare it to the bland cookie cutter versions of banks that get opened these days.

    Nice colors and looks so solid -- a bank you can trust, it seems to say!

    I like the stark simplicity of the bank building and of your full frontal approach to it.

    I think banks had to look solid, reliable and trust worthy, even if they were crooks. This building looked very solid :)

    I agree with Hels, that bank is giving a very good "we're not going anywhere" message :)
    Great find!
