Description
This building is a circa 1870 bank, constructed in the Venetian style on a corner site. It is built of red brick with elaborate terra-cotta dressings. The bank is two and a half storeys in height, composed of three bays, plus an angled entrance which is now blocked, with an oriel window above the entrance. The ground and first-floor openings have semi-circular heads with elaborate dog-tooth mouldings; the first-floor windows feature paired semi-circular headed lights separated by banded columns. A machicolated cornice sits beneath tall dormers containing pairs of semi-circular headed lights, topped with scrolled pediments which break through a decorative parapet of the tiled mansard roof. An elaborate single-light dormer finished in terra-cotta sits above the oriel.
