The middle bay on each front is a round-arched window; the two outer bays have a lintel at springing level, detailed with voussoirs and keystone, and a blank tympanum above. Flat-arched entrance in eastern bay on Western Road with glazed tympanum, and inner and outer double panelled doors of original design; north window in Little Preston Street blind; flat-arched windows in south bay with keystones; all windows have original metal glazing; entablature with dentil and mutule cornice; balustraded parapet.
INTERIOR: full-height banking hall with original panelled counter: bracketed pilasters between panels, supporting a frieze decorated with Vitruvian scrolls and bead-and-reel ornament.
