A good representative example of the growth of commercial services in Midland in the early 20th century.

Two storey building, the doors and windows on the front ground floor are arched with the lower part of the walls being faces with stucco to resemble masonry, the upper part of the façade has quoins and tuckpointed brickwork and is surmounted by a pediment. The roof has decorated chimneys. When the building existed as a bank the lower storey was the banking chamber and hte upper storey was teh manager's residence.

The building is the only bank building remaining in Midland that can be associated with the town's growth at the turn of the 20th century. Its location midway between the railway station and the town centre is indiciative of the strong influence that the railway has on the economy of the town.
