Description


Designer/Maker:	Varney Parkes
Construction years:	1890-
Physical description:	1890 - Varney Parkes architect. A two-storeyed Victorian Italianate rendered brick bank building with hipped roof (now tiled) and large rendered chimneys. The asymmetrical facade features a small entrance portico near one end with small pediment at roof level supported on Corinthian pilasters; three-bay two-storey verandah under the main roof with arched opening and masonry balustrade; roundheaded doors and French windows, Corinthian pilasters along the facade, dentillated eaves and swag mouldings in the entablature between floors around the entrance portico. Interior retains original stairs, joinery, marble chimney pieces, arches and plaster and pressed metal ceilings. General condition fair to good. Built 1890 for the Bank of New South Wales, which had established in Inverell in 1872. Became the Shire Council Chambers in 1962. The building was given foundations four metres deep and reinforced with railway lines to combat movement on the black soil which is a common problem in Inverell. It remains structurally sound. Architectural Style: Victorian Italianate. Building Material: Rendered brick, tiled roof, rendered chimneys, Corinthian pilasters, marble chimney pieces (LEP). A two storey rendered brick Victorian Italianate style bank with raised ground floor, with hipped roof (now tiled) and asymetrical street faade reflecting residence and bank chamber. Residence has three bay arched and two storied verandahs with Corinthian pilasters and masonry balustrades. The chambers have entrance with windows on each side with pediment at roof level supported with pilasters (LEP). The building's ground floor is raised to avoid flooding, and the basement floor opens to the rear (L:EP).
