Savings Bank

The Savings Bank, located at 59 Lowther Street, is an early 19th-century classical building that also incorporates No 42 New Street, which forms the return side elevation. The building is stuccoed and stands two storeys high.

The Lowther Street elevation features a shallow Doric portico supported by four partly fluted columns, a plain entablature, and a cast iron balustrade. The first floor is divided by flat Doric pilasters into three bays, with double pilasters at the outer corners. The windows on this elevation have moulded architraves and cornices, and there is an entablature with the Royal Arms above the central bay.

On the New Street return elevation, there are four first-floor bays, with an attic storey above the two left-hand bays. The two right-hand bays display banded rustication on the ground floor, with a string course separating the ground and first floors. The ground floor features four sash windows and a doorway on the far left. The first floor of the two left-hand bays has two sash windows with half-height attic windows above, while the first floor of the two right-hand bays includes a sash window and a blind window, both adorned with moulded architraves and cornices above.
