Hobart Office 56 Elizabeth Street | 1967
1975
2007 | 1967 photo of banking chamber in Current Accounts January issue. 1975 Listed in Annual Report. A photo also appeared in Current Accounts July 1975. Interestingly, it looks to be on the same site as the photo I took in Hobart recently (corner site, with narrow side road), but is clearly not the same building. It would be interesting to know when the site was redeveloped, i.e. before or after it ceased to house the Bank.
2007 site by Frank Maundrell who states: It seems obvious to me that the site has been redeveloped since the 1967 photo on our website. Whether that was by the Bank or since sale of the site I do not know. From the design of the building, it would have been possible it was built as a Bank. It is now occupied by Rockmans. Perhaps a member who worked there around the time of the merger could enlighten us. The modern Hobart Office of NAB is in the ex-NBA building in Elizabeth Street, on the opposite side and well within sight. It still bears clear reference to "National Bank of Australasia"! | Burnie, Tas | 2008 | 1975 Listed in Annual Report.

1983 January Crick P C Mgr, Liddle R A Acct | Launceston, Tas 96 Brisbane Street | 2009 | 1975 Listed in Annual Report. 2007 Frank Maundrell notes: There are many old bank buildings in Launceston, some identified with plaques, most not. A cousin of mine, an ex-banker (not CBC) who has lived there for over 30 years could not really remember but thought it might have been on a site now used as a car park.
2009 Photo from Leon Payne who advises: This is the photo of the old Launceston Branch as it is today. It is now Stannards Camera Shop. The two windows in the upper story was the staff lunch room. The position of the door remains about the same but the large window to the right used to be a solid tiled wall that contained the Night safe and the name of the bank done in metal lettering. | Moonah, Tas | | 1977 Branch opened 1st August (Current Accounts January 1978) |
