2007 August photo from Des Leggett.  He relieved there in 1961. The branch obviously has a preservation order on it for on the front window still remains "The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney". A dentist currently occupies the premises.

2021 May Noel R. Smith MBE advised: "I thought our members would be interested in the attached photos of the former CBC Allora branch, taken by my sister Janet Kelly on a recent caravan trip from Brisbane with her husband Russell.
Allora is on the Darling Downs in south-eastern Queensland - 158 km south-west of Brisbane. It is located on the New England Highway between Warwick and Toowoomba.  Population 1,223 (2016 census) Postcode 4362.
The gold plaque on the front of the building reads - Alan J Smith DENTAL SURGEON. He maybe a former or current tenant.
What a delight it is to see the building in such great condition and the original CBC name so clearly displayed in the lead glass window of the building."

2008 July photo is of NAB Atherton, Q'land, taken during a visit there in July this year by Frank Maundrell who says: I do not know whether it is the site of the old CBC Bank.

Statement of Significance:
The National Australia Bank with its Classical temple front is a representative example of the inter-war Academic Classical style (Criterion D.2). It was built during a phase of building and rebuilding of banks throughout Australia, using a style and Classical details to express the image of a solid banking enterprise (Criterion A.4). It is typical of the work of the architect Lange L Powell who designed other buildings for the National Australia Bank in the Classical style including the headquarters of the Bank in Brisbane (Criterion H.1).
Description:
A two storeyed rendered masonry building, designed with a temple front in the inter war Academic Classical style. Four giant fluted Ionic columns rise up through the facade and support the cornice and parapet. The upper level has an open balcony beneath which is the entrance lobby. This bank is a typical example of the work of the architect Lange L Powell who designed other banks for the National Australia Bank, including the headquarters of the Bank in Queen Street, Brisbane and a bank at Mossman. The latter also having a Classical temple front.
