These line and wash images are architect's drawings of the Reserve Bank's Head Office building in Martin Place, which was built in 1964, with interior finishings completed in the following year. They come from a booklet released after the opening of the Head Office building which explained the role and functions of the Reserve Bank, along with details of the distinctive structural and decorative features of the new premises.
