Building and heritage
An elegant ashlar-fronted building reflecting its former use as a bank. The columns flanking the openings of the arcaded ground floor and the inscribed stone frieze refer to classical architecture, attempting to bring the grandeur and significance of ancient cultures to nineteenth-century bank construction. The carving is clearly the work of skilled stonemasons and carvers. Other details, such as the carved eaves course and the adjacent integral archway, enhance the building and its setting.
