BankSA (former Savings Bank of South Australia Head Office)

Historically, the Savings Bank of South Australia building is significant because it represents a wholly South Australian Bank established in the early years of the colony. Built 1939-1943, it is a symbol of the continued growth of the Bank's operations, which included school and work-place banking facilities as an early and at the time novel service for customers.Architecturally, the Savings Bank of South Australia is a monumental example of its pre-war style with many interesting design features. The building exemplifies the architectural struggle between classical leanings and modern techniques. (Heritage Conservation Branch Assessment Report 5/11/1982)
