Description:
Finely engraved view of the Bank of New South Wales at 368-374 Collins St, Melbourne and designed by Melbourne architect Joseph Reed and constructed in 1856-7. Reed was awarded first prize, worth £75, in the Bank of New South Wales’ competition to design their new Melbourne headquarters on a vacant block of land facing the prominent Criterion Hotel.
The façade was transplanted from Collins Street to the University of Melbourne in 1938, after its demolition in 1932 due to ongoing structural problems and to make way for a newer, larger Art Deco design.
