•Clare ANZ Bank. This imposing classical style bank was opened in 1877 for the English, Scottish and Australian Bank. It cost £4,000 to build and the architect was Adelaide based Daniel Garlick who did architectural work on a Clare Hotel and the old Clare brewery too. Daniel Garlick was known for his mastery of classical Greek features and this building displays great symmetry and proportions, fancy entablature around the windows and doors, roof pediment and balustrade, pilasters and key stones above doors and windows. The building uses a local stone with cement rendered quoins and horizontal bands to delineate sections of the two storey structure.
