View of Spring Gardens
Description
Rear and side view of bank building on the corner of Spring Gardens, City of Westminster. Spring Gardens is named after the gardens that stood there in the time of Elizabeth I. These featured a decorative fountain that was set in motion by passers-by treading on hidden machinery. A branch of National Westminster Bank occupies 66 Trafalgar Square, encased by scaffolding. Built in 1871 by F. W. Porter of Portland Stone and polished red granite as The Union Bank of London. Founded in 1839, the bank merged in 1902 to form Union of London and Smith's Bank. It forms a corner block bounded by Trafalgar Square and Spring Gardens, in Italianate style. Four storeys, including attic storey, dormered pavilion roof and a basement. Three-windows wide to Trafalgar Square, one window bowed corner, and five-windows wide on each Spring Gardens side. Ornate cornices above the first-floor windows, and both first- and second-floor windows are flanked by ionic pilasters. It is now a pub and is Grade II* listed, number 1217744.
