Description
No. 1 Albert Square is a bank or office building constructed around 1900 by architect Percy Worthington. It is built from Portland stone, with the roof concealed. The building has a narrow, slightly tapered plan at the end of the block, featuring a narrow semicircular front in a classical style.
The structure rises to four storeys and has a three-window convex semicircular facade. The ground floor is designed to resemble rustic stonework and includes a chamfered round-headed doorway with a keystone. Above this, giant Corinthian pilasters frame three curved bays that contain 12-pane sashed windows. The first-floor windows are adorned with moulded architraves and cornices, and all windows have wrought-iron balconies. The building is topped with an entablature, a plain frieze, a dentilled cornice with modillions, and a high parapet with balustrades.
The north side wall, facing John Dalton Street, has five bays with round-headed windows on the ground floor. The first-floor windows feature moulded architraves, with the three central windows having pediments and the others having cornices. The interior has not been inspected.
