Bank House

Bank House is a bank and offices built in 1884, featuring brick with stone dressings. The building has three storeys and a bowed corner with three bays between rusticated pilasters, along with four bays on the left side facing Wood Street and a three-bay return on Cricklade Street. The corner includes an arched entrance flanked by partially fluted pilasters and topped with a broken ogee pediment adorned with a garland. The first floor has a central window with a shell pediment and lateral windows with moulded lugged architraves, complemented by moulded brick swags above. The windows consist of 12-pane and 8-pane sashes, while the second floor features 4-pane sashes also within moulded architraves and a pediment with an oeil de boeuf. The Wood Street elevation showcases a rusticated ground floor and end pilasters, with lugged moulded architraves, a frieze, and a cornice that includes 12-pane sashes. The second floor has 6-pane sashes and is topped with a crowning entablature. The Cricklade Street elevation mirrors that of Wood Street but includes a central elaborated datestone. The interior is not of special interest.
