description
The Scottish architect Walter Newall is responsible for the design . The buildings were constructed around 1840, with an office wing likely added in the late 19th century. They are located near the junction of Bank Street and St John's Road in the center of the small town. Stylistically, details are taken from both classicism and the Greek Revival .
House number 27, located directly on the street, housed the business premises of the British Linen Bank . The building is three axes wide with a central entrance area. The windows are based on the Palladian style of Burlington. The front sides emerge in a semicircle. The concluding, slate-covered hip roof is largely hidden behind a surrounding balustrade . The interior is designed with heavy wooden doors and stucco ceilings .
The former residential building of the bank director is directly to the south. The east-facing front is three axes wide. The central entrance area is designed with a canopy resting on square pillars with a massive, detailed architrave . The building closes with a slate-covered platform roof with grouped, octagonal chimneys. A dome illuminates the main staircase with a cast-iron balustrade. The interior is lavishly designed in the Greek Revival style with friezes and cornices and a marble open fireplace. The basement has partially vaulted ceilings .
