Alfred Banks was a Brisbane-based architect operating in the late 19th century. Alfred Banks worked with the architect Victor Carandini at the Queensland Building Land Society and they became partners in 1885. They operated as Banks and Carandini from 1886 to 1887. They worked on the designs of stables, fences, villas and three houses until their partnership dissolved. Banks and Carandini are most well known the design of the residential home Moana, also known and Moana Flats, in the Brisbane suburb of New Farm. Moana was constructed in 1886 and is believed to be the last surviving example of their domestic architecture. In 2000, Moana was listed as a Local Heritage Place by the Brisbane City Council.
