1982 | Pictured is the old Head Office building after extensions in 1866, the facade of which became the front of the branch. Hilley designed the original 343 George Street Sydney C.B.C. Bank building built in the 1850s and now at Sydney University.
1981-05-01 Current Accounts Vol 3 # 1 pg 32 :-
"At the request of Professor Leslie Wilkinson (Australia's 1st Professor of Architecture & Dean of the Faculty at Sydney Uni) CBCofS donated the original facade to Sydney Uni to provide additional accommodation for the Chemistry Department & to serve as an illustration of Gothic architecture.
1938-07-11 CBCofS opened a campus branch in front portion of "Bank Building".Housed since 1938 in a building dating back to the 1850s. Bill Frost advises: The front facade of this building was that of the old Head Office building donated by the Bank when the new building was erected in 1924. I think this is covered in “A Century of Banking” 1965 approx photo by Bob Handel.

2009 July John Beer advised "No sign of any branch in 'Bank Building' Science Rd Sydney University. Wentworth Building 3rd Floor contains nab where Teller said the current Sydey University nab branch transferred from Science Rd 'Bank Building'." 2014 August Mike Hook advised: The façade was placed on the front & side of The Pharmacy Building, Science Rd. Where the Bank operated for decades until NAB closed (one of our most prestigous branches) in about 2000. The Univerity was the oldest continuous customer the combined Bank had ... since 1854. Hopefully they retained the connection & can service the University , staff & students thru Wentworth Building Branch.
