Former Reserve Bank of Australia "Bold, graceful and functional, it lends a simple elegance to the corner of Smith and Bennett Streets. It is the newest branch of the Reserve Bank of Australia and it opened for business in Darwin today" - Northern Territory News, 28 March 1968. he Reserve Bank Act was passed in 1959 and created a central bank to regulate ustralia's monetary and banking system. Branches of this new institution were planned r all states and territories, with the head office in Sydney. building reflecting the importance of the Reserve Bank and its role in the Australian onomy was needed. Construction began on the Darwin branch in 1967. awing its inpiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, the building is a example of late twentieth century stripped classical architecture. The way the ding is set back from the boundaries and the use of landscaping were deliberate ices made to highlight the formality of the building and its function. View of Reserve Bank, Smith Street frontage, 1973. Coburg Collection, Library & Archives NT The Reserve Bank became part of a group of buildings known as "Bank Corner" , which included the Commercial Bank of Australia (the façade of which is now incorporated into the Charles Darwin Centre), the Commonwealth Bank and the Bank of New South Wales (now Westpac). The driveway to your left was used by armoured cars carrying cash, and important documents, a reminder of a time when the banking system relied on cash, and on the storage of paper records rather than computerised systems. In October 2003 the former Reserve Bank building was declared a Heritage Place under the NT

Town Hall Ruins (Former Palmerston Town Hall) "It is usual on occasions of this kind to present the gentleman performing the ceremony with a silver trowel... it's not here, but will be forthcoming shortly, suitably inscribed. It is just likely the (foundation) stone will be well laid without it for I have often noticed that gentlemen using silver trowels do not care to use much mortar.." (Victor. V. Brown, Chairman Palmerston District Council, 17 August 1882). This once imposing building served a variety of roles over its 92 years. The discovery of gold, the completion of the overland telegraph and an expanding township of Palmerston, later to become Darwin, saw the formation of the Palmerston District Council in 1874. With it came a need for a Town Hall and Council meeting place beyond the termite-ravaged Pickford's Rooms then in use. Built to the design of John G. Knight, as were a number of Darwin's early substantial buildings, the Town Hall incorporated space for the Council and the Palmerston Institute with its reading room and library. It was constructed of local stone and cypress pine from Indian Island to timber the floor and a roof. Opened on 10 March 1883 by the departing Government Resident, E. W. Price, the Town Hall was a popular venue for the citizens of Palmerston. It became the focus of many large social gatherings, a Local Court, library, and a meeting place for the then District Council. In 1937 the Darwin Town Council was dissolved and the Commonwealth Bank moved in until its own building was completed in 1940. A year later the navy took over the building as part of its shore base, HMAS Melville. Post-war the navy refused to surrender many buildings and a new town hall was built in 1954. The navy moved out from this building in 1959 and from then it was known as the Old Town Hall, serving as motor vehicle registry, and from 1968, as a museum - until December 1974. Previously only slightly damaged in the 1897 cyclone, this once important part of Darwin's early history was devastated by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve 1974. In acknowledgment of its significance, the ruins were stabilised and now stand as a reminder of Cyclone Tracy, with the symbolism of the concentric paving reminding us of the destructive forces of the cyclone. And, again, the Old Town Hall is a popular venue for community activities, including theatrical performances and outdoor entertainment. The Town Hall Ruins were declared a heritage place on 19 March 1996.

Christ Church Cathedral Fully sixty ladies and gentlemen, and a goodly number of smaller fry, assembled on the allotment in Smith Street... to witness the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the first Church of England in the Northern Territory (Northern Territory Times and Gazette 12 July 1902). Darwin's Anglican community used the Court House opposite here for Sunday services until a small stone church was constructed as a chapel for a larger cathedral. The new Church of England we a bait of the Carpentaria Diocese covering much of the Northern Territory. In 1902 this end of Smith Street was a collection of a the new church was constructed.

Gardner of the army's 6 Australian Camouflage Unit. The gate and fence, and a porch to the church were completed using local stone. They were dedicated by the NT Force and Royal Australian Navy to those who died on active service in the Northern Territory. By the 1960s, however, the stone was crumbling and in 1965 the work was replaced by the Returned Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen's Imperial League of Australia (the RSL). Cyclone Tracy roared through Darwin on Christmas Eve 1974 destroying all but the porch and gateway. A new cathedral was constructed around the historic porch in 1976, winning the 1978 Tracy Memorial Award for its architects.

Administrator's Office Former Court House and Police Station "The new court house was opened on Tuesday last without any ceremony whatever, except that of trying a man for cattle stealing. The interior of the building is pleasing enough but we cannot say that a view of it from the streets is suggestive of anything more than a grocer's shop. The cells we did not inspect - we are likely to do that at any time" (Thomas Kennedy Pater, Editor of the North Australian, January 1884). The Northern Territory's first court house was constructed on this site in 1870 from timber, weatherboard and bark. It was rebuilt in 1883 using locally quarried porcellanite stone and cypress pine, to the design of architect John George Knight, at a cost of 2,500 pounds. The building complex also housed a police station and cell block at the rear and was part of an impressive administrative precinct which extended westwards along the Esplanade. The buildings survived the Japanese raids in 1942, and were then occupied by the Royal Australian Navy as Naval Headquarters, HMAS Melville, due to their location close to the Port. The buildings remained the Navy's headquarters until their partial destruction by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve 1974, when rooves were torn off and many of the walls came down. The remaining walls were braced against further collapse, and the ruins occupied by squatters. In 1979 it was suggested that the original pre-WWII police station and court house should be rebuilt for use by the Administrator as offices. The Chief Minister, the Honourable Paul Everingham MLA, was receptive to the proposal although Everingham was apparently advised by a senior public servant that "the old stone building was a "heap of rubble" and it would cost way too much". The Chief Minister was firm that the proposal should proceed and rebuilding commenced in 1981. The ruins were cleared and a large quantity of the original stone was saved and stockpiled on site, so that the buildings could be restored as closely as possible to their original state. Today the buildings represent the continuing presence of the Crown in the settlement of the Northern Territory - first as the court house and now as the office of the Administrator of the Northern Territory. The Former Court House and Police Station were declared a heritage place on 20 March 1996.
