Bank building erected by the Midland Bank in 1913. A single storey pavilion, ashlar-faced and in a bombastic neo-baroque style.
The bank occupies a corner site, showing two bays to High Street Inferior and four to Tredegar Street. Each bay has a large round headed window framed by ionic columns, paired at the ends of elevations. These support an entablature surmounted by a balustraded parapet. The monumental entrance occupies a convex bay at the angle of the two facades.
The interior comprises a single anking hall, partitioned between public and private spaces. The basement contains a central strong room. There is a more recent two storey block to the rear.
