    State Savings Bank of Victoria - Physical Description 1

    Parapeted face-red brickwork, foliated pressed cement detail and fanciful wrought iron were typical ingredients of the Edwardian Freestyle which used British and Italian Medieval sources for its inspiration.
    
    More regular in composition on its main facade than on the asymmetrically treated north elevation, the walls are divided by piers and considerably enlivened by a variety of openings set between them. Round, bayed and segment-arched windows of different sizes are used on the Ballarat Street front, while a combination of freely arranged arched and rectangular ones are used to the north. Moulded terra-cotta tiles separate an intricate leadlight from the residential entrance and moulded terra-cotta outlines the prominent voussoirs to the arches. Queen Anne scrolls mark the change in width of the chimney shaft in its path down the north wall. The corrugated iron fence to Ballarat Street is original.
    
    Massive elements and diverse openings, provide a free and highly successful design.
