How many Pressed Tin Patterns....?
How many pressed tin patterns do you think there are in the National Bank building?
The very-eagle-eyed may spot Linda and Linda approaching the bank as part of their building examination last Wednesday for the Significance Study. You won't spot Rodney (new to the team), as he was behind the camera. Thanks Rodney!
They were all just about to realise just how important the pressed tin interiors were in the bank. On a quick count, there are at least eight different patterns of pressed tin used. Unfortunately there was little time to take good photographs that day - it requires a bit of thought how to photograph all-white pressed tin.
So this is just one of the corners, to give some idea how the ceiling, cornices and walls are all pressed tin, down to the stained boards halfway up the walls.
Stand by in the near future for some good shots of the tin.
The building? It was built in 1889 at Meeniyan, in South Gippsland for the Colonial Bank of Australasia. This became the National Bank in 1914. The first manager was H.D.McKay. It as moved to Old Gippstown in 1970, and has a false masonry front in painted wood.
Amazing what you find (ie the tin), when you seriously look at a building for the first time.
