Description

Nos. 19 and 20 Bow Street is an office building and bank constructed in 1897 by R.S. Wornum. The ground floor is made of Portland stone, while the upper levels are dressed in red brick, topped with a slate roof. This building showcases an asymmetrical Queen Anne style with notable Arts and Crafts details. It stands two to three storeys high with an attic.

The Bow Street facade features three windows, a three-window gable end return, and a three-window wing that connects to a corner pavilion-tower on the right. There are doorways on the left side of the Bow Street front and on the gable end return, both framed with architraves that rise to points below cornices, with an oculus above the Bow Street doorway. The ground floor has two large semicircular arched windows that are recessed and adorned with keystones, divided into three lights by wooden pilasters and a transom. The upper floors have flush framed segmental arched glazing bar sash windows, and a bracketed stone cornice runs along the top.

Barrel roofed dormers are present, and the cornice continues across the gable end, where the fenestration is similar to that of the ground and upper floors. Additionally, there is a decorative "Baroque" window framed by blocked columns in the shaped gable, along with a stone cartouche at the corner on the first floor. The link wing is two storeys tall, featuring the same sash windows on the first floor, a parapet with coping, and a dormered mansard roof. The right corner pavilion is canted, displaying two windows facing Broad Court and one at the corner, and it culminates at attic level in an octagonal tower topped with an ogee lead cupola and finial.
