Description

The Bank Public House is a late 18th century building with a late 19th century front, located on John Street in Bristol. The ground floor is finished in stucco, while the upper part is constructed of brick with limestone dressings, topped with an interlocking tile mansard roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in a late Georgian style, featuring two storeys and a four-window range. It occupies a corner site, with a one-window splayed corner and a two-window right-hand return.

The façade includes giant pilasters that extend through a plat band to a coping, with a cornice at the corner and return. The public house front wraps around the corner, showcasing pilasters supporting a fascia and cornice, a central half-glazed door, a blank space to the left, and square leaded lights on the return. The longer elevation has a doorway slightly off-center with a small canopy above. The windows feature five stepped voussoirs and 6/6-pane sashes, horned on the long elevation and the second floor of the return. There is also a single dormer. The interior has not been inspected.
