Bank House

Bank House is a building originally constructed as a bank in 1885, now used as offices. It was designed by W Owen of Warrington for Parrs Bank. The structure is made of red brick with ashlar on the ground floor and blue brick dressings, topped with a slate roof in a Venetian style.

The building has two storeys with an attic and features a three-window range. The ground floor is arcaded throughout, with a doorway to the left and windows grouped in threes, consisting of one and two lights. The single window is recessed and flanked by rusticated pilasters, while the other windows have twisted pilasters, which may be cast-iron. There is a panelled door with a plain fanlight to the right. Above the ground floor, there is a moulded cornice, with brickwork extending to the upper storeys.

The upper storey includes arcaded triple windows with heavy foliate capitals on the piers beside the central light. A continuous stone hoodmould connects the windows, and there are also continuous bands of blue brick. Above the stone cornice, the attic storey features red and blue chequerwork brickwork and similar windows of three, one, and two lights. A pedimented gable is positioned over the paired right-hand windows, with the roofline raised over a hand block and eaves that overhang on console brackets, which have mosaic panels set between them.

The return to High Street displays two ground-floor windows with a stone cartouche between them and two attic windows. The building has end wall stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
