Australian Joint Stock Bank Building, Maryborough

The Australian Joint Stock Bank Building, a heritage-listed site in Maryborough, Queensland, was constructed in 1882 and designed by architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley. Originally serving as a bank, it is now a museum known as The Story Bank, dedicated to the works of P. L. Travers, the author of the Mary Poppins series. The building showcases classical architectural influences and has a rich history tied to the development of Maryborough as a key port during the gold rush era. Visitors can explore its historical significance, architectural beauty, and the literary legacy of Travers, who was born here.
