A lavish and most impressive palazzo, the Classical orders dispensed with but showing copious use of Gibbs surrounds (Image]). All in the smoothest ashlar apart from the red granite plinth and entrance. By R.J. Johnson, 1888-91, for Hodgkin, Barnett, Pease, Spencer & Co.'s bank, whose cheque books must have been very long. Grade II listed. For once, this has not been converted to a bar, but is still a bank, Allied Irish Bank.
