Buildings in Old Broad Street
Description
A view of the Grade II listed 123 Old Broad Street, City of London by the turning into Throgmorton Street with part of the neighbouring Midland Bank Ltd. at 119-122 Old Broad Street, City of London showing on the right. The five-storey 123 Old Broad Street dates from the mid nineteenth-century and contains features of the High Victorian Gothic style of architecture with piers and capitals conaining foliage on the windows. Also within the building is the entrance archway to Austin Friars with the sign 'Austin Friars' engraved on to a stone scroll above the archway. Gothic styled sash and dormer windows can be seen in the building. The entrance consists of double wooden panelled doors in an arch surmounted by an ornate keystone. The neighbouring Midland Bank is in the nineteenth-century Italianate style with a modernised ground floor dating from c1960s. On the left of the street on the corner of the Trollope and Colls' London Stock Exchange, Stock Exchange Tower of 1970 at 125 Old Broad Street can be seen a No Left Turn road sign and a Do Not Enter road sign beyond that. Apart from the Midland Bank the buildings have survived though modernised such as the new glass front on the former Stock Exchange Tower added in c2007. 123 Old Broad Street became a pub known as the Phoenix and the Midland Bank was replaced by an office building designed in a traditional nineteenth-century to early twentieth-century bank style in c1993.
