Statement of Significance
The W Challenge Bank (fmr Westpac Bank) represents the economic growth of Katanning, being one of many banks established in the Shire along Clive Street, although this bank building is located on the western side of the railway line. The building has some aesthetic significance with a strongly designed (classical form) central bay and prominent corner location.
Physical Description
The original building is a three bay frontage with a tiled gambrel roof and stucco facade, symmetrically disbursed around a pedimented central bay with rusticated pilasters and engaged ionic columns. The double hung windows appear to have been replaced. The design style could be described as Federation Free Classical. To the left is a later addition, which is more or less in keeping with the original building. An ATM (automatic teller machine) was installed at the front of the building in October 2000.
History
In 1910, a branch of the Bank of New South Wales was opened in Albion Street, then G W Cussen set up temporary premises for the bank in Clive Street.
In December 1911, Porter & Thomas Architects, from Perth called for tenders for alterations and additions to the Bank of New South Wales, which were completed in 1912.
In 1927, the Bank of New South Wales absorbed the WA Bank.
