Description
Lloyd's Bank is a building located in Newcastle upon Tyne, constructed around 1839 for Richard Grainger. It is made of sandstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof and is designed in a Classical style. The building has four storeys and features nine bays. There are steps leading up to a central door with a fanlight, which is set in a recessed three-bay section. The ground floor has round-headed windows with pilasters and archivolts. The bays are marked by wide, flat Tuscan pilasters that support an entablature adorned with carved wreaths on the frieze. Above this, there is a giant Corinthian Order with flat pilasters on the outer bays and attached fluted columns in the centre. The upper windows are framed with architraves, with pediments on the first floor and bracketed sills on the second. All windows are sashes with glazing bars. The entablature features a dentilled and modillioned cornice. The outer bays of the third floor have sashes in plain reveals, defined by flat pilasters under a cornice, with a balustrade over the centre. Tall chimneys with ashlar cornices complete the exterior. The entire interior has been redeveloped behind the street facades.
