text: The Bank of New South Wales Melbourne building, completed in 1857, earned architect Joseph Reed a first prize in architecture.  When the building was demolished in 1935, the facade was transplanted to the University of Melbourne in Parkville to become the Commerce Building. It is now retained on the facade of the new building being constructed for the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.
