Banks in Old Broad Street
Description
A view of 1 to 10 Old Broad Street, City of London consisting largely of banks. On the far left can be seen part of the early twentieth-century offices of lazard Brothers & Co. Ltd at 10-11 Old Broad Street designed with classical architectural features including ows of sash window with small square panes and the side entrance with classical columns surmounted by a Georgian style fanlight set within an arch. Next to 10-11 Old Broad Street is the National Westminster Bank at 9 (now 5) Old Broad Street. The Grade II* listed four-storey building of 1922-1936 was designed by Mewes and Davis in the italianate classical style using portland stone. The first floor central window consists of square panes surmounted by a triangular pediment. In the middle of the ground floor is the arched central entrance flanked by two arched windows. Within the arched entrance is an ornate fanlight consisting of a metal grill. The neighbouring seven-storey 2-3 Old Broad Street is also early twentieth-century with bay windows and classical rectanguar ionic columns rising between the windows from the second to the third floor. Extending from the buildings are flag poles. On the far right of the picture can be seen the side of Trollope & Colls' Stock Exchange Tower built in 1970 with a Post Office at the end. Most of the buildings remain though numbers 10-11 has now been replaced by a newer building housing the Virgin Active Bank Health Club. The front of the former National Westminster Bank at number 9 has been alterned with the erection of a french style metal glass canopy above the entrance, removal of the ground floor windows, new doors and large lanterns added and is now used as offices. The former Stock Exchange Tower 125 Old Broad Street was re-modelled c2007.
