Exchange Branch,
58 Pitt Street North

 
1899 opened near the Exchange (102nd Report).

Renamed in 125th Report to 58 Pitt Street North.

Bill Frost advises: Exchange Branch eventually became Royal Exchange Branch and then 58 Pitt Street. The old building had charm but not convenience. The new building had neither. A minor branch of the Tank Stream ran through the basement. I dare say is not a Bank any more as the National had a branch next door.

(later to become 11 Broadway)

1885 George St West opened (75th Report); operating in 1892;

The extant building was built about 1891/2 so there must have been a building of sorts prior to this if the branch opened in 1885.
