In an 'eclectic "Queen Anne" style' http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=476282&mode=adv . With its strikingly rich red brick and terracotta detailing, the building, occupied by Natwest, stands out on the corner between High Cross Street and East Hill, facing down Church Street. "Erected in 1898, it was designed by a Luxulyan-born architect, Silvanus Trevail so that a gable end faced each of the roads which approached it. The red bricks used in the building were made at Ruabon in North Wales." http://www.oldcornwall.org/st_austell.htm
