Commonwealth Bank Gladesville

The Commonwealth Bank Gladesville was located at 219 Victoria Road in Gladesville. The original Government Savings Bank building was built by Alexander Simpson and Sons under the architectural supervision of Messrs Ross and Rowe in 1920. The GSB merged with the Commonwealth Bank in 1931 and operated from the existing GSB building.

The bank sold the building in 1989 but continues to operate from the site.

Facade detail

The new facade of 1937

In 1937 extensive alterations were carried out by Hogden Bros which included this new facade.

The 1992 awning addition

An awning was added in the early 1990s to accommodate additional services which severely compromised the look of the Art Deco facade.
