Built for the Commonwealth Bank.
Now looking after yours.
The vault was originally commissioned by the Commonwealth Bank and later formed part of the Reserve Bank of Australia's Hobart operations — a Chubb chamber of steel and concrete, quietly tucked away on the island of Tasmania, where geography adds another layer of separation.

The Commonwealth Bank,
Hobart — circa 1950.
Trams ran past the front doors, while the vault guarded the Commonwealth's reserves. The trams are long gone. The vault is still here — and doing the same job, for a quieter set of customers.
