Waverley, bank

The former Commonwealth Bank is on the corner of Bronte Road and Albion Streets in the eastern suburb of Waverley. It was built in 1921 in the art deco style for the Government Savings Bank which merged with the Commonwealth Bank in 1931. After this branch closed, the building became a bottle shop in 2022.

      We say bottle shop or bottle-o for what you would call a liquor store.

    Nice architecture - the gray is a good choice for color. Alana ramblinwitham

      Shades of grey are a trendy colour choice these days.
