Temora. A fire destroyed many Main sTreet buildigns in 1900. This old Union Bank was built in Edwardian style in 1903 next to the 1901 Post Office.
Temora.The Temora squatting run was established in 1847. A gold rush began in 1879 and the town was laid out and created in 1880 when 20,000 miners were on site. Most buildings were timber framed and several fires swept through the commercial areas several times. Much of the town centre was rebuilt around 1902.The gold ran out within a year or so and Temora became a grain centre and is now known for its yellow gold- canola. The railway from Cootamundra reached Temora in 1893 and a further transport boost occurred in 1941 when the RAAF training aerodrome was established here. It now has an aviation museum and an excellent mineral and rural museum. Temora’s impressive buildings from the northern end of Main Street are: the Italianate Westpac Bank (built 1907 as Bank of NSW); the ANZ Bank originally a Union Bank (1903); the Edwardian/Federation style Post Office (1901); the accountant’s in a former Art Deco CBC Bank (1908); the Spanish Mission style Hotel Temora (1933); the Federal Hotel (1913); John Meagher Spanish Mission style building (1929 for J Thom); the Commonwealth Bank (1918); John Meagher building ( parts from 1881). Turn left at the roundabout beyond Meagher’s. On left is Terang and Mortlake a pair of 1890s semi-detached houses; turn left again into De Boos St. Courthouse (1902); Anglican Church (1906); the stunning Catholic Church (1907) - the Convent (1890s) to the right of it; Temora Council Chambers (1921); Presbyterian Church (1933) and original church (1882); Catholic School (1934); Temora State School (1883).Turn left and return to Main Street on corner is Railway Hotel (1893). Straight ahead is the railway station (1893); and visible from it is Pardey’s three storey flourmill (1908- closed 1973). The Rural museum is on Junee Road.
