Description
Lloyds Bank is a bank building constructed with painted stucco and slate roofs. The street front consists of two sections: a three-storey section on the right (No 42) and a single-storey section on the left (No 43).
No 42 features a four-bay front with paired modillions at the eaves cornice and channelled outer piers that are interrupted by sill bands on the first and second floors, as well as a plinth. It has plate-glass horned sash windows in moulded surrounds, with smaller windows on the second floor. An arched doorway is located in the third bay, featuring an eight-panel door and a fine 18th-century traceried fanlight, all within a later 18th-century doorcase that has an open pediment supported by Ionic three-quarter columns, complete with entablature blocks above and moulded bases. Notably, the door and doorcase have been moved from the first bay. The rear of No 42 has a large projecting gable to the left, which is painted and rendered, with a massive external chimney-breast that narrows with two offsets to the right and one to the left. There is a 20th-century attic window to the right, a narrow 20th-century window on the second floor to the left, and a low-set 20th-century ground floor or basement window to the right. A buttress is present against the ground floor on the left, and there is a lean-to structure against the left side wall.
No 43 King Street is a single-storey building with five bays, featuring channelled rustication, a high parapet, a dentil cornice, a sill band, and a plinth. It has large plate-glass horned sash windows in moulded surrounds, with friezes and alternating pediments and cornices. The centre has a pediment above a large rectangular framed plaque inscribed with "Bank," above a panelled door set in a doorcase with fluted pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The rear of No 43 is finished in painted render and has a slate roof, with two storeys that include a 20th-century door and windows.
Inside No 43, the main bank hall, primarily from the later 19th century, features two ceilings with dentil cornices, a raised chimney-breast on the left end wall, and a late 19th-century arch leading to the rear, supported by paired half-fluted pilasters and a broad depressed arch. The interior of No 42 has been altered between 1953 and 1981, resulting in the removal of a fine staircase.
