Banking facilities were non-existent within the Shire until the opening of the Queensland National Bank at North Pine (Petrie) on August 27, 1886.

However the depression of the early 1890’s forced the bank to close its doors after only 5 years of trading, on June 30 1893.

This building is a replica of the original bank and was constructed with the assistance of the National Bank of Australia as part of the Australian Bicentennial celebrations and opened in 1987.

The first premises were temporary, until Mr. A. J. Wyllie built a suitable building with small residence for a Manager in Whites Road, which he then rented to the Bank.
