National Bank Building

The National Bank Building, also known as the Corner House, is a historic structure located at the intersection of Market and Simmonds Streets in Johannesburg. Designed by the acclaimed architects Leck and Emley in 1903, it showcases late Victorian Neo-Classical architecture, featuring a striking copper dome and a bright glass dome over the banking hall. Originally completed in 1904, the building has undergone several renovations, including a significant extension in 1953 that harmonized with its original design. Declared a national monument, it stands as a testament to Johannesburg's architectural heritage and its status as the financial capital of Africa. Today, the building houses high-end offices and is a popular venue for upscale events, reflecting its ongoing relevance in the city's vibrant financial district.
