It is also known as Union Bank of Australia (former), Weymouth House and Hesley Gallery. The property is owned by The Trustee for Union Bank Property Trust (Private). It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History The Union Bank of Australia was established in Orange in 1857 in temporary premises and in 1858 opened in the present building. It was first bank in Orange. In April 1862 the business of the Union Bank was taken over by the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. It would be after this year that the building was acquired and used as a police station. In 1874-75 buildings for the Police Department were under construction in Byng Street not far from the Court House. It was after this date that Mr T. H. Richards conducted a school in this building called Weymouth House. In 1893 Mr Richards transferred his school and the building became a Girls School called Dombrane College. After closing as Queen's College in about 1911-12 the building then became a boarding house conducted by Miss Hawke and her mother. After the boarding school it was used as residential flats. In February 1980 the Heritage Council was advised by the National Trust of Australia (NSW) that the Former Union Bank was under threat of demolition. A Section 130 Order was placed over the building on 29 February 1980. A formal notice under Section 132 was subsequently made by the owners of the building with the intention to demolish the building. After taking into consideration the views of Orange Council and the owners of the building an Interim Conservation Order was placed over the building on 18 April 1980 in an effort to find a suitable use for the building.
