Description
Barclay's Bank, built in 1904 by Percy Worthington for the Union Bank, is a bank building in the Jacobean style. It features a combination of partly ashlar buff sandstone and red brick, with a stone-slate roof and stone ridge. The building has a symmetrical three-bay front that rises three stories. The end bays are highlighted by curving bay windows, which include 5-light mullioned and transomed windows on the first two stories and a 4-light mullioned and transomed window in stone-coped gables that are ornately finialled.
In the center, there is a semi-circular headed doorcase with ovolo moulding, displaying the company arms and motto beneath a pediment. Just below the eaves, decorative lead guttering and the date are visible. A carved stone bracket supporting a clock is located on the corner of West Street. The West Street elevation also consists of three stories, featuring a triple stuccoed gable, each containing a bowed oriel adorned with blue and cream terracotta work. The ground floor has mullioned and transomed windows, while the first floor has mullioned windows.
The interior originally included a banking hall, which has since been removed, and the upper floor was initially designed to serve as the manager's flat.
