Description

DescriptionThe neoclassical Bank of Australasia building was located at 394-398 Collins Street, Melbourne, part of the banking district of the city. The building, as seen here, was constructed in 1876, and was designed by Reed and Barnes architects as a two-storey building. Renovations in 1929 saw three additional storeys added to the building. (Information from “Melbourne Buildings: Great architecture in Australia’s finest city” http://www.adonline.id.au/buildings/bank-of-australasia/ accessed 20th November 2018). It is thought that photographers Benjamin and Laura Taylor visited Melbourne with their daughter Laura whilst her finance, Martin William (Will) Haenke was undertaking architectural studies, prior to commencing his practice in Ipswich in 1901.
