It is an example of the Gothic revival architectural style and features details such as arches and towers. Various Masonic symbols decorate the front façade including the five-pointed star and a square and compass united. The Latin inscription above the entrance is: AUDI VIDE TACE (Hear, See, Be Silent). Around 1895, a new western wing was added.The building was demolished in 1971. During its history it had had a number of occupants: the Mines Department; The Agricultural Bank (Rural & Industries Bank); and, the Public Trust Office. | |
