Former National Australia Bank Gladstone Branch |
| Registered Name |
Former National Bank Gladstone Branch |
| Significance |
The building is significant as an excellent example of an early twentieth century bank building in rural South Australia, particularly notable for the Neo-Classical facade.
The National Bank commenced business in Gladstone in 1892 with a staff of two, from a building located next to the Booyoolee Hotel. The site was prone to flooding, and the bank moved to the Gladstone Terrace site in 1937. The Gladstone branch was particularly significant in the region, serving many areas after the closure of the Laura, Georgetown and Caltowie branches around the turn of the century.
