Historic Bank of NSW building in Quirindi hits the market

The historic former Bank of NSW building on Station Street in Quirindi has been listed for sale. The 118-year-old, two-storey Federation-style property originally opened in 1908.

Local legend suggests the building may contain a secret tunnel connecting the bank's vault to the railway station across the street, a feature potentially used for the discreet transport of gold. While the existence of such a tunnel has not been proven, real estate professionals note that similar tunnels have existed in other towns.

The building has undergone various transitions since its inception, serving as a bank branch, a manager's residence following a 1931 amalgamation, and later as a branch for the Rural Bank of NSW. It is currently being marketed through Raine & Horne Quirindi/Murrurundi.
