Description

This is a late 19th-century bank, likely dating from around 1895, and possibly designed by C. S. Nelson of Leeds for the London and Yorkshire Bank Ltd. It shares design elements with a bank in Brighouse. The front is constructed of ashlar, with polished granite dressings, brick at the rear, and a hidden roof. The building is three stories high and has a symmetrical facade of five bays. The ground floor has doorways in the outer bays. All window openings feature stilted arches with carved, chamfered surrounds, and wooden trefoil-headed glazing bars, along with a sill band to the central three bays. The first and second floors have a recessed central three bays. A central segmental oriel window on the first floor is topped with carved shields under the window, and has a balustraded parapet. Flanking the oriel, on both the first and second floors, are two-light chamfered mullioned windows with basket-arched lintels. Balustrades are positioned to either side of the oriel. The outer bays on the second floor have cross-windows with ogee lintels and balustraded balconies featuring two trefoil-headed lights. An eaves band and a dentil cornice lead to a balustraded pediment. Two brick stacks are present.
