Description

The National Bank Ltd is a Grade II listed building featuring a classical stucco front dating from the 19th century. The façade has two windows, end pilasters, and a dentil cornice above the second floor. There is an attic cornice and parapet with a central tablet, and the end pilasters support later 19th-century sash windows. The left panel of the main frieze is inscribed with "This is a joint pine end." The windows on the first and second floors have moulded architraves and cornices with volute brackets, while the sashes do not have glazing bars.

In around 1930, elaborate ashlar bank frontages were added in a Greek Revival style. This includes a lion mask cornice over the entablature, twin fluted columns in antis with acanthus capitals framing wide ground floor openings, and a recessed bay window treatment with metal glazing and stall risers. The cill bands feature key patterns, and the pilasters are adorned with disc ornament and elongated key patterns. The entrance has a splayed corner design with a disc architrave and bracket cornice, leading to double bronze doors.

Inside, the banking hall boasts a richly decorated ceiling with wreaths and guilloche bands, along with panelled counters and other features.
