The Australian Provincial Assurance building, designed by David King in 1932 is notable for its exterior cladding of cream-glazed terracotta relieved by white flecks, and green-glazed horizontal accents. The building sits on a base of red granite which related to the Rural Bank (demolished) on the opposite corner.
