Built for the Colonial Bank of Australasia in 1889 at Meeniyan, this building became a National Bank in 1914. Its first manager was Mr H.D. McKay. The building was donated to Old Gippstown in 1969 by the National Bank. The bank has a mock stone design on the timbers at the front of the building and pressed tin ceilings. It consists of a bank manager’s office, teller’s counter and a side room. The interior features a collection of old National Bank furniture (including three identical National Bank of Australasia chairs c.1925 and a glass fronted storage cabinet), banking items and some of the original window signs.
