Summary

Description
English: Colonial Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin
"This handsome pile of buildings was originally erected by the General Government as the Chief Post Office for the Provincial District of Otago, but finding that the existing post office answered present requirements, it was handed over to the Otago University. It, however, proved unsuitable for the University buildings, and was in due time sold to the Colonial Bank, which institution carried on banking business within its precincts up to the time of the merging of that institution into the Bank of New Zealand. A couple of years ago" (1900) "the building was purchased by a company comprised chiefly o£ members of the Dunedin Stock Exchange, whose business is conducted in the main hall of the building." Otago Witness 14 May 1902 Page 35
