33 Murray Street is the former Savings Bank of South Australia building. The bank opened a agency in 1866 and operated from the post office from 1867. This unusual building was designed by Adelaide architects Woods & Bagot and built by Ligertwood & Parks with the painting and decorating by W H Cox of Gawler. Sandstone for the building was quarried at Smithfield. The building has elements of French Renaissance, Edwardian and classical styles with features including Marseilles roof tiles and Wunderlich pressed metal ceilings. The building was part of the Town of Gawler Heritage Project 2003.
In 2016, Bank SA relocated to Murray Street east side opposite Jacob Lane and in December 2016 it was observed that the 33 Murray Street building has been sold.
The building was advertised for lease in 2017-2018 (lease signs visible in Google Maps images). It was occupied by Maxima Joblink from 2021-2024, in 2026 that company is no longer operating from the site.
