DESCRIPTION

Reference numberE000234DescriptionUnion Bank of Australia (fmr) at 86 High Street (formerly known as 84 High Street) was designed by Hobbs, Smith and Forbes and built between the wars for the Union Bank of Australia Ltd. by R. V. Ritchie. The building replaced four earlier shops on the site. Between 1952 and 1956 ownership/occupancy passed to the Australia and New Zealand Bank Ltd. Changes were made to the property in 1960 and 1969. The bank continued to use part of the building until 1990 when it relocated. On 28/11/1990 the property was offered for sale at auction but was not sold until mid-1991. On 28/11/1991 the building opened as a market where handmade glassware, ceramics, toys and wooden goods were sold. The markets closed in July 1992. In June 1996 plans came before Council to develop a restaurant and offices in the building. The place was vacant from at least 2002 until 2008 when the place changed ownership. Restoration and adaptation and fit out were undertaken and the owners/architects (Gentra) received a Heritage Award for Conservation of a Heritage Place.Date1985PhotographerWatkins, SkipPhotograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
