Former ES & A (English, Scottish & Australian) Bank Terowie Branch |
| Registered Name |
Former ES & A Bank Building |
| Significance |
The history of Terowie's most prominent bank is closely linked to that of the town. The building was built during Terowie's boom in the 1880s, with provision for further extensions. As with many developments in Terowie, this confidence was never realised. The extensions were never built and the incomplete fabric at the rear demonstrates this. During the town's prosperous years, the bank operated as a branch in its own right, and in the devastating Depression of the 1890s, the bank was closed down completely for over a year. The later development of the bank continued to mirror the economic development of the town. The confidently executed Victorian Tudor bank building is an uncommon architectural example in this area. It is also interesting that the designer did not employ classical style common to Victorian banking institutions. The interior contains well-preserved Victorian bank furnishings. The building provides a distinctive contribution to the Terowie Main Street, and is a significant and distinctive example of a bank building in a rural town. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
