28 Clarke Street Crows Nest (former Bank Staff Training Centre) is an unusual example of a six storey, late Twentieth Century commercial building built c. 1972 designed by Kerr and Smith, Architects and Planners, in the late Twentieth Century Brutalist style and is a dominant building is the local streetscape.

 

“Brutalism is the techno music of architecture, stark and menacing. Brutalist buildings are expensive to maintain and difficult to destroy. They can’t be easily remodeled or changed, so they tend to stay the way the architect intended. Maybe the movement has come roaring back into style because permanence is particularly attractive in our chaotic and crumbling world.” - Brad Dunning, GQ Magazine.
