1961 On 26th June a new Branch opened at 185 Swanston Street when the Bank re-purchased the building which they had sold to The State Savings Bank of Victoria in 1937 on a site occupied by a an earlier Swanston Street branch from 1930 to 1937.
1962 interior photo from Current Accounts January 1963 together with article "The Gyrations of Swanston Street":
"Our Swanston Street branch opened in Bourke Street, moved to Swanston Street and ended up in Elizabeth Street. In fact, it is still in Elizabeth Street, but we now have a branch in Swanston Street: confusing?
"The first Swanston Street branch opened at 274 Bourke Street in 1900, the first branch of The Bank of Victoria to be opened in the City of Melbourne. In 1930 the branch was transferred to leased premises at 185 Swanston Street which, as can be seen in the accompanying illustration was a small converted shop. In 1937 this building was sold to the State Savings Bank of Victoria and the branch moved to a building which the bank bought and subsequently remodelled at 201-209 Elizabeth Street.
"The State Savings Bank of Victoria occupied the Swanston Street premises until 1961 when it moved to new premises further along the same street, and we then bought their old building. Thus on 26th June, 1961, after a lapse of 24 years, 185 Swanston Street was back in business as a branch of the C.B.C."
