Description
The Midland Bank, located at No. 19 Market Place in Barnard Castle, is a former house that has been converted into a bank. It was originally built in the mid-18th century, with an early 20th-century bank replacing a mid-19th-century structure. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping and both stone and brick chimneys. It stands three storeys high and has a four-window range.
The bank front is characterized by panelled pilasters that define the side doors; the left door is now blocked and has a cash machine installed, while the right door features a renewed glazed door. There is a three-light stone-mullioned window, and above it is a top entablature with low relief letters stating 'MIDLAND BANK'. The first floor has sash windows set in architraves with keying, and there is an eaves gutter cornice. The roof is topped with end chimneys that have been raised in brick. The interior has not been inspected.
