    438 Centre Road - Physical Description 1

    A monumental and prominently situated stuccoed former bank in the Egyptian Revival mode with a pilastrated facade, upper level loggia and frieze with "The State Bank of Victoria" in stuccoed Roman letters. Prominent roundels and the form of the facade suggest Egyptian architectural influence whilst ornamentation is generally simplified in the manner of the period. Steel framed lower level windows adopt superimposed Greek and St. Andrews Cross motifs. The facade treatment returns along the Daley Street elevation for a single bay and there is a porch giving access to the former residential entrance.
