Summary edit

Description

Photographer: William Boag

Location: Warwick, Queensland, Australia

Description: This first building was erected by the bank in Palmerin Street opposite the Warwick Dispensary in 1871 and opened for business in February 1872. After the erection of a new stone building, again in Palmerin Street, this first building was taken over by the then recently established (1885) Royal Bank of Queensland, in 1887. Warwick was the first town on the Darling Downs established in 1849 on the banks of the Condamine River. The rich grazing land around the area supports horse and cattle studs, fine wool and grain. In 1871 the railway from Ipswich came through. Warwick is situated 158km south west of Brisbane on the Cunningham Highway. (Information taken from M. Barca, Explore Historic Australia, 2002)
