Vancouver House, also known as the National Bank building, is a heritage listed building located on Stirling Terrace overlooking Princess Royal Harbour in Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
The building is named after George Vancouver, who named King George Sound and Princess Royal Harbour and claimed the southern part of Western Australia for the British Crown in 1791.
[1] Tenders were called for in February 1881,[2] and the building was constructed in 1881[3] by local builder Charles Keyser, who also built Albany House located further along Stirling Terrace.
[3] It initially operated as a branch of the National Bank but later was used as a cafe and food store and became a guest house in 2000.
The symmetrical facade is divided into horizontal panels of stucco masonry.
