Includes: No. 56 former Midland Bank, SPRING GARDENS.
Bank. 1929, by Sir Edwin Lutyens, with Whinney, Son and Austen
Hall. Portland stone (roof not visible). Rectangular plan.
Modernist classical style. A tall building with a slight
batter, 10 storeys including basement and attic, arranged in
diminishing stages of 4, 3, 2 and 1 storeys, with matching
north, east and west facades and right-angled re-entrant
corners; with 7 windows to the 1st stage, 1:5:1 windows to the
2nd stage (the sides set back, with obelisks in the re-entrant
angles), the 3rd stage further reduced to a 2-storey 3-bay
pavilion in the centre of a 3-storey 4-bay attic. The ground
floor has channelled rustication, 3 small windows in the
plinth, 3 very large round-headed windows to the banking hall
with small panes and radiating glazing bars, and at each end a
tall round-headed doorway with rusticated architrave, triglyph
frieze, and prominent mutuled cornice, and over this an
unusual deeply-splayed horizontal embrasure to a small square
window (each doorway opening into a corner porch). Most
windows have plain reveals and small-pane glazing, those to
the 4th floor square, but the attic pavilion (which resembles
an C18 orangery) has Corinthian semi-columns distyle in antis,
a large round-headed window in the centre (and in each return
wall), storeyed rectangular windows in the outer bays, and
cresting over the centre. The rear (to Chancery Lane) differs
in having a giant semi-circular arch in the centre and a
smaller number of windows (some at the lower levels square),
and a 5-bay attic pavilion with pedimented outer bays and a
3-bay colonnade in the centre. Interior: banking hall with
circular colonnade.
