BANK BUILDING ♦ See Victoria Building)

With regard to Bank Building comprising as "Town-dweller says the block up to and including the present site to Kayamally building. I have been puzzling as to the names of the banks who occupied these buildings.

They were, I believe three in number but I can only think of two namely the Oriental Banking Corporation and the Agra Bank. It was, I believe in this bank that the late Sir Paul Chater first found employment in this Colony.

The office staff of the bank being limited to three of whom he formed the third. I think he remained with the bank for about two years, and then commenced business on his own as an exchange broker.
