Heritage Listed: 63 York Street is one of few surviving mid-Victorian period warehouses. It is one of the forerunners of a building type that was to dominate the western edge of the CBD in proximity to Darling Harbour. It is considered to be of regional significance as one of few surviving storage buildings of the 1860s or earlier that once supplied the city area. Its conversion to retail/office space during the twentieth century reflects changing commercial patterns in the city and York Street in particular.
63 York Street is the work of George Allen Mansfield, one of Sydney's most prominent architects during the latter half of the 19th century. The building is an excellent example of an essentially Classical style warehouse modelled on the Italian Palazzo with a combination of details including mainly Romanesque devices, a gold leaf Egyptian inspired frieze and 'barley sugar' twisted columns. On an important corner it contributes strongly to a significant historic townscape, terminated by the west facade of the GPO.
This building (which originally included 61 York Street) was designed by G.A. Mansfield and was built by Alex Dean for John Frazer & Co. as a warehouse for the company. The work was carried out in 1866 on the site of a warehouse previously destroyed by fire. There are few recorded works on the building prior to the addition of two new storeys in 1936. Thereafter, until 1974, the most significant changes to the building involved the addition of partitions and the construction of a strong room in the basement in 1941. In 1974 alterations and additions were initiated to the value of $400 000. In 1983/84 a major refurbishment was made on the ground floor entrance and the five upper floors. The basement was fitted out for a hair salon. In 1985 a major programme of construction commenced, principally the introduction of partitions, to accommodate a new tenant Kent Hi-Fi. In 1993 another extensive tenancy fit-out was carried out to accommodate a bank.
The St George Bank at 63 York Street occupies a building which records the pattern of commercial development in the CBD from the mid 19th century. In particular it reflects the predominance of this area for warehousing. Despite adaptations it still reflects its origin as a warehouse. It is associated with the prominent architect G A. Mansfield. Changes to the building illustrate changing commercial needs of the city. Has historic significance locally.
[Social Significance] The St George Bank Building is an excellent example of mid-Victorian commercial architecture. Essentially Romanesque in treatment, its palazzo form is also embellished by some Egyptian inspired features. It is a strong contributor to the townscape character of Barrack Street although the 1936 addition detracts from the appreciation of its form.
[Rarity] The St George Bank Building is one of few surviving intact mid-Victorian period warehouses in the western sector of the CBD. It is an excellent example of an essentially Romanesque style building modelled on the Italian Palazzo with a gold Egyptian inspired .....
[Representitivenes] The former John Frazer & Co. warehouse is associated with the work of G A. Mansfield.
General: The regional significance of 63 York Street warrants a Conservation Plan to guide future use, management and maintenance. Demolition of the top two floors or redesign in a more compatible manner would be appropriate.
Exterior: Any future development should preserve the external facades up to the fourth floor cornice, including all sandstone elements and timber windows in accordance with the Conservation Plan.
Interior: Given the level of change to the interiors, adaptive re-use in accordance with the Conservation Plan is acceptable provided a detailed examination of original internal structural elements, finishes and details is carried out to determine the possibility of retention and restoration of interior characteristics in new works programmes.2018 February photo of plaque by John Ness 2021 June photos of old front at 63 York Street and Barrack Street side entrance - now Teachers Mutual Bank, Unibank originally University Credit Union, now being a division of Teachers Mutual Bank. | | 44 Young Street |
