The Old Bank (Broken Hill, Far West New South Wales)

This building, located on the corners of Gawler Place and Chloride Street, was occupied by the Commonwealth Bank in 1953 and 1932, with the Government Savings Bank there in 1910. In the 1950s its clientele was considerably increased by the compulsory banking of part of the mine employees' lead bonus.
