Fodor's Review:
The neoclassical bluestone-and-sandstone building, designed by 19-year-old architect J. J. Clark, was built in 1862 to hold the gold that was pouring into Melbourne from mines in Ballarat and Bendigo. Subsequently, underground vaults were protected by iron bars and foot-thick walls. Not to be missed is the Built on Gold show staged in the vaults.
