Description
The Midland Bank is a two-storey building featuring two-window elevations on both streets and a splayed corner window. The first floor has scribed render with rusticated quoins, while the tall ground floor is channel rusticated, accented by a freestone cornice, dressings, and a high vermiculated plinth with blind panelling. The hipped slate roof has very wide, dentilled eaves, and there is a blue brick chimney stack shared with No 3. The first floor of the splayed corner is stepped back and topped with a raised freestone open pediment that displays the bank logo. The first floor windows are 12-pane sash windows with architraves and bracket cills, and there is a panelled apron beneath the splayed corner window. The ground floor features a modern banking fascia. Above the semi-circular arched openings with keystones and roll moulded jambs, there are segmental labels, and the bank windows have marginal glazing bars. The entrance consists of double panelled doors with a plain fanlight. There is a similar one-window elevation facing Penrallt Street, which includes a narrow 8-pane window.
