Description
The Midland Bank is a building in the free-classical style, constructed with red brick and featuring freestone dressings and channelled ashlar on the ground floor. It has a green slate roof that rounds across the corner, complemented by brick chimney stacks. The building stands three storeys tall with a two-bay elevation facing Wellington Road and a five-bay elevation on Bodfor Street. Both main elevations showcase round arched openings with cavetto moulding, dropped keystones, and timber glazing typical of banking halls on the ground floor.
On the far left of the Bodfor Street elevation, there is a secondary entrance featuring an architrave, panelled doors, and a keystone that connects to a cornice at the base of an oculus overlight. Above this entrance are 20 and 16-pane sash windows set in shouldered architraves, adorned with scrolls and festoons on the first floor, and tall keystones on the second floor. The main entrance is located at the corner beneath a scallop shell hood supported by brackets, featuring a granite doorcase with Ionic columns and a keystone.
The first and second floors of the corner are recessed, showcasing Ionic giant order columns and square piers as responds. The first-floor window is detailed similarly to the others, while the second floor features a tripartite window, both with curved glazing. Quoins, sill, and lintel bands delineate the division between the first and second floors, while the ground floor includes an impost band and a high plinth. The building is topped with a balustraded parapet and a dentilled cornice. The banking hall has been modernised.
