Description
Barclay's Bank is a building located on Market Street in Newcastle upon Tyne, dating from around 1837. It was designed by Benjamin Green for Richard Grainger and is part of the left return of the Theatre Royal on Grey Street. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof in a Classical style. It stands four storeys tall with attics and consists of six bays.
The ground floor has been altered and features channelled rustication. It includes renewed panelled double doors in the first, fourth, and sixth bays, while the other bays have windows with joggled lintels. A cornice runs along the ground floor. All the windows have been replaced with pivoting lights that include glazing bars. The upper floors are plain in the left three bays, while the right five bays are distinguished by square attached Giant Doric columns. The second floor has an entablature that projects over the right five bays, and the third floor features pilasters above the columns, with a top cornice that also breaks forward over each pilaster.
