点评:Originally this was the AJS bank- The Australian Join Stock Bank. It was the first bank to establish in Hay, in rented quarters beside Moss' store. In 1872 weatherboard premises were built on a site north of this building.
The present Westpac Banking Corporation building was erected by the Witcombe Bros. The architect was Benjamin Backhouse of Sydney.
Benjamin Backhouse (1829 – 29 July 1904) was an architect and politician in Australia. He was a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Council.
Construction began in 1877 and the bank moved into the new premises in 1878. In 1910 the AJS Bank became the Australian Bank of Commerce ( ABC). This building became the Westpac in 1982.
It's an attractive building... there is something austere about old banks. It's in good condition and is currently used as a bank.
翻译:最初这是 AJS 银行——澳大利亚联合股份银行。这是在海伊开设的第一家银行,位于莫斯商店旁边的租用宿舍内。 1872 年,在该建筑以北的一块场地上建造了挡风板厂房。
现在的 Westpac Banking Corporation 大楼是由 Witcombe Bros 建造的。建筑师是悉尼的 Benjamin Backhouse。
本杰明·巴克豪斯(Benjamin Backhouse,1829 年 – 1904 年 7 月 29 日)是澳大利亚的建筑师和政治家。他是新南威尔士州立法委员会的成员。
建设始于 1877 年,银行于 1878 年迁入新址。1910 年,AJS 银行更名为澳大利亚商业银行 (ABC)。这座建筑于 1982 年成为西太平洋银行。
这是一座迷人的建筑……老银行有些朴素。它状况良好,目前用作银行。
