354 George Street, Sydney

354 George Street is a heritage-listed building in Sydney's central business district, originally constructed as the Bank of Australasia between 1902 and 1937. Designed by architect Edward Raht in the Federation Romanesque style, it features a striking facade made entirely of Bowral trachyte, a unique stone that was innovative for its time. The building showcases lavish interior decorations with bronze, marble, and gold leaf, reflecting the opulence of early 20th-century banking architecture. It has undergone various modifications over the years and was officially added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 1999, making it a significant landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in Sydney's architectural history.
