This is a listed building.
It is on the south-west side of Kirkgate (number 110) where it meets Vicar lane.
It faces the south-west corner of Kirkgate Market.
It was designed by William Bakewell (1839–1925) of Leeds at a cost of £4,500, with carving by J.W. Appleyard.
Work was begun in 1890.
The walls of the banking hall were lined with light-veined Italian marble, the floor was of mosaic, the fittings included a five-foot dado and were of solid American walnut, and the ceiling was "richly panelled."
The stone for the exterior came from the Morley and Idle quarries, and the building carries the arms of Leeds and London.
Heating was "effected by hot air pipes disposed in coils throughout the building," and there was a hydraulic lift.
It was open for business in December 1891, but did not move into the new premises until February 1892.
The Pevsner Guide cites "fine carving, including King Midas."
English Heritage says that above the pediment there is a "draped female statue flanked by animals, a lion and unicorn at corners," however the statue is of a bearded man with donkey's ears; he is isolated, representing tragedy - and he has no crown.
It is Midas who has lost everything.
