Bank House (William Deacons Bank)

Bank House, formerly the Derbyshire Stone Company Offices and William Deacons Bank, dates from the late 18th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone. It is two storeys high and features five sash windows with plain architraves, the central one being moulded with a small cornice. The facade is divided into three bays by plain pilasters. A panelled door is set within a moulded stone architrave that has a curved pediment supported by consoles. Quadrant-shaped stone steps lead to the entrance on the right-hand side, set above a raised plinth. The building has moulded stone eaves and a roof now covered in tiles, originally slated. A modern wing, sympathetic in style, has been added to the left, with a doorway featuring coupled Roman Doric half-round pilasters, a blocking course with voluted acroteria, and topped by two stone urns. A small gabled wing with a Venetian window and later additions is located at the rear.
