Description
The former Midland Bank, located at 61 High Street, was built in 1888. This three-storey building is constructed of ashlar and features a symmetrical design. The ground floor has five windows separated by banded pilasters and is flanked by round-arched entrances that have fluted pilasters, a keystone, and an open pediment; the left entrance leads to Providence Place. The first floor contains seven sash windows set within moulded stone architraves, featuring alternating curved and triangular pediments. The top floor also has seven sash windows in moulded cases with sills supported by brackets. The building is adorned with a top frieze decorated with swags, a cornice, a balustraded parapet, and a central carved pediment that displays the date and swag. The rear of the building is made of red brick.
