Originally planned to be a hotel but never used as such, it was a Bank of NSW branch from 1875 - 1938. During the crossing the Murray River via the John Foord Brdige, holes were cut in the stable loft of the Bank of NSW so that the Bridge Road could be watched and fire could be directed along the road if necessary - The Kelly Gang never arrived. It was then purchased in 1938 by Mr Easdown, an accountant, who used it as his office and residence until his death.
