Description
The former Williams Deacon Bank, located at 247 Chapel Street in Salford, was built around 1890. It features an ashlar façade over brick and has a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof adorned with scallop bands and wrought-iron brattishing. The building stands three stories tall with an attic and has a four-window range. The windows are sashes set back behind surrounds with trefoiled heads. The second-floor windows are part of an arcaded design with pointed arches supported by engaged shafts with foliate capitals. Above this, decorated brackets hold a projecting string course and water spouts, leading to a parapet with two gabled dormers. On the ground floor, there are two windows flanking a doorway on each side, all featuring semicircular heads. The main door on the left side has a carved lintel with round glazed openings in the tympanum, while the right opening is divided by a stone mullion to create a narrow side window, also with a carved lintel and trefoils. Pilasters between the central windows have foliate capitals. The interior has not been inspected.
