Condition

The building was constructed for the Western Australian Bank in c.1906. It is a two storey red brick structure with a (later) tiled roof. The original two storey front verandah facing Viveash Road has been dismantled and replaced with a modern canopy although the remainder of the exterior of the building is in original condition. The doors and windows on the front ground floor (western) facade are arched with the lower part of the walls being faced with stucco to resemble masonry. The upper part of the front facade has quoins and tuck-pointed brickwork. The sides and rear facades are of unpainted face red brick. The rear (eastern) facade has an elaborate stained glass window which lights to top of the stairway linking the ground floor banking chamber to the upper floor bank manager's residence. The building has decorative chimneys. Direct access to the upper storey residence from Victoria Street is provided by a front door (with leadlights) which leads up a second carved jarrah staircase. The ground floor interior (banking chamber) has been modified, although some decorative plasterwork, a fireplace and other original details are intact. The upper storey (residence) has been only slightly modified and has decorative plaster work (archway, cornices, ceiling roses), highly moulded skirtings and architraves, fireplace surrounds and an internal leadlight fan-light remaining intact.
