86 Mosman St. The former Australian Bank of Commerce. This classical building in the Greek style with Doric and Corinthian columns and a large triangular pediment on the projecting central portico is a dominant feature of the street. It was built in 1891 as the Australian Joint Stock Bank. The tender for its construction was £4,693. The architect was Francis Stanley. By 1892 the Australian Joint Stock Bank had 19 branches in QLD. The Australian Bank of Commerce took it over in 1910 which later became the Bank of NSW in 1931. It is now the World Theatre cinema complex. It should be open between 10 am and 1 pm on Fridays. Check out the foyer. Upstairs in the Board Room is a painting of the murder of the Board Chairman in 1901. The Haygarth shooting by a disgruntled employee.
