33 Eastgate Street, Chester, at the corner of Eastgate Street and St Werburgh Street,
NatWest Bank.[1] It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[2] It is in Neoclassical style, but was built at the time that the Black-and-white Revival was underway in the city, and was therefore the subject of much criticism for being "out of place".[1][3] It consists of three storeys, with five bays on the Eastgate Street side, and three bays facing St Werburgh Street. The ground floor is rusticated with tall round-arched openings. On the side facing Eastgate Street the middle three bays of the upper storeys are occupied by a blank portico with four Corinthian columns supporting a pediment with modillion cornices. All the windows are sashes. The banking hall has a panelled ceiling carried on four Ionic columns.[2]
