Former National Westminster Bank, 32 and 34 Corn Street

The former National Westminster Bank, located at 32 and 34 Corn Street in Bristol, was built between 1852 and 1855 by architect R.S. Pope. This three-storey building is designed in a late Georgian style and features a limestone ashlar façade. It occupies a corner site with a six-window range, including a rounded corner window and a right-hand return with three windows. The exterior includes a plinth, wide sill band, lintel, deep first-floor sill bands, a second-floor sill band, and an egg-and-dart string with console brackets supporting a deep cornice.

The left-hand windows and the corner section are set back, showcasing tooled rusticated quoins on the forward section, and the ground floor has a banded vermiculated design up to lintel height. The central doorway is plain and features steel gates with half-glazed double doors from the 20th century. To the left of the doorway are two tripartite windows and a small doorway, while the right side has plain windows with recessed cills and sunken roll mouldings. The corner windows are four-over-four pane horned sashes that curve at the corner.

On the first floor, the windows have eared and shouldered architraves with raised cornices, with tripartite windows at the corner and the third from the left, all fitted with four-over-four pane sashes. The second floor mirrors this design with matching architraves and two-over-four pane sashes.

Inside, the early 20th-century remodelled banking hall is painted in a late 20th-century style and is four bays deep, featuring fluted Doric columns. The apsidal five-bay end is divided by pilasters and includes an aisle to the left, with an entablature that has triglyphs, metopes, and a cornice. The segmental-arched roof is divided by beams with bay-leaf moulding and includes a glazed roof. The entrance features an Ionic distyle-in-antis design with consoles above an open pediment and a heraldic panel.
