翻修後的 AMP 大樓重振了班達伯格的建築歷史

在議會「我們的故事、我們的地方」資助計劃的支持下，位於 Bourbong 街的班達伯格地標性 AMP 大樓已通過全新的外牆油漆工作煥發了活力。灰色、炭色和金色等傳統配色方案凸顯了建築的建築特色，同時保留了其歷史特色。該建築於 1927 年設計，1928 年開業，作為澳洲互助公積金協會 (AMP) 的前身，擁有悠久的歷史。儘管存在誤解，但它並未被列入遺產名錄，而是屬於班達伯格商業特色區，承認其建築和美學價值。

Restored AMP Building Enhances Bundaberg's Architectural Heritage

修復後的 AMP 大樓增強了班達伯格的建築遺產

Nestled amidst the bustling streetscape of Bundaberg's central business district, the AMP building on Bourbong Street has undergone a meticulous rejuvenation, breathing new life into its historic facade. With the support of Bundaberg Regional Council's Our Stories Our Places grant program, the building has been adorned with a heritage-inspired color scheme, transforming it into an architectural centerpiece.

坐落在班達伯格中央商務區繁華街景中的波邦街 AMP 大樓經過精心翻新，為其歷史悠久的外觀注入了新的活力。在班達伯格地區委員會「我們的故事我們的地方」資助計劃的支持下，該建築採用了受遺產啟發的配色方案，將其轉變為建築中心。

A Touch of History

歷史感觸

Constructed in 1928, the AMP building has witnessed the ebb and flow of Bundaberg's past and present. Its prominent facade, adorned with a striking combination of gray, charcoal, and gold, hints at a rich narrative.

AMP 大樓建於 1928 年，見證了班達伯格的過去和現在的潮起潮落。其顯眼的外觀採用灰色、木炭色和金色的醒目組合裝飾，暗示著豐富的故事情節。

While the building's facade boasts the inscription "Est. 1849," building owner John Felesina dispels a common misconception. The earlier date signifies the foundation of the Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP) in Australia, not the construction of the building. Through meticulous research, John discovered architectural drawings from 1927 that meticulously outlined the original layout of the AMP offices, including intricate details of the facade that once featured a grand AMP emblem.

雖然建築物的正面刻有“Est. 1849”字樣，但建築物業主約翰·費萊西納 (John Felesina) 消除了一個常見的誤解。較早的日期表示澳洲互助公會 (AMP) 在澳洲成立，而不是大樓的建造。透過細緻的研究，約翰發現了 1927 年的建築圖紙，這些圖紙細緻地勾勒出了 AMP 辦公室的原始佈局，包括曾經帶有宏偉 AMP 標誌的立面的複雜細節。

A Legacy Preserved

保留下來的遺產

The AMP building has been a cherished family heirloom for the Felesinas since 1991, when John's parents, Peter and Pietrina, acquired ownership. John inherited the building in 2001 and has dedicated himself to preserving its historical character. He enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to participate in the Our Stories Our Places grant program, recognizing its significance in safeguarding Bundaberg's architectural legacy.

自 1991 年 John 的父母 Peter 和 Pietrina 獲得所有權以來，AMP 建築一直是 Felesinas 家族珍視的傳家寶。約翰於 2001 年繼承了這座建築，並致力於保護其歷史特色。他熱情地接受了參與「我們的故事我們的地方」資助計劃的機會，並認識到該計劃對於保護班達伯格的建築遺產具有重要意義。

A Collaboration for Heritage

遺產合作

The Our Stories Our Places grant program, administered by Bundaberg Regional Council, provides invaluable financial assistance to property owners seeking to undertake heritage or character-enhancing improvements on eligible buildings. John and his wife, Dehlia, received a grant of $7,325, representing a substantial contribution to the cost of repainting the AMP building.

由班達伯格地區議會管理的「我們的故事我們的地方」補助計畫為尋求對符合條件的建築物進行遺產或特色提升改進的業主提供寶貴的財政援助。 John 和他的妻子 Dehlia 獲得了 7,325 美元的補助金，這是對 AMP 大樓重新粉刷費用的重大貢獻。

John extols the virtues of the grant program, urging other eligible building owners to seize the opportunity to revitalize their properties. "The Council's incentive is a testament to their commitment to preserving our shared heritage," he remarks. "It's imperative to maintain our historical buildings, ensuring that the essence of Bundaberg's past remains vibrant in the present."

約翰讚揚了補助計劃的優點，並敦促其他符合資格的業主抓住機會振興他們的房產。 「理事會的激勵證明了他們致力於保護我們共同的遺產，」他評論道。 “保護我們的歷史建築勢在必行，確保班達伯格過去的精髓在現在仍然充滿活力。”

A Restored Icon

恢復的圖標

The restoration of the AMP building has garnered widespread appreciation. Passersby admire its transformed appearance, pausing to capture the picturesque facade. John recounts how visitors often express their admiration for the building's architectural charm, recognizing it as a symbol of Bundaberg's enduring history.

AMP 大樓的修復贏得了廣泛的讚賞。路人欣賞它改變後的外觀，停下來捕捉風景如畫的外觀。約翰講述了遊客經常表達對這座建築的建築魅力的欽佩，並認為它是班達伯格不朽歷史的象徵。

A Lasting Legacy

持久的遺產

The AMP building stands as a testament to the enduring power of architectural heritage. Its restored facade not only enhances the city's streetscape but also serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of stories woven into Bundaberg's past. John Felesina's dedication to preserving this architectural icon is a beacon of inspiration for future generations, ensuring that the AMP building continues to grace Bourbong Street for years to come.
