This commanding house was built in 1861 when this part of Western Road was being developed. Within a few years the London & County (now Westminster) Bank who remained there until 1893 were occupying the ground floor. The remainder of the house was used as a boarding house.
The first floor of the adjoining building was an auction room with two small shops on the ground floor. Bank House was then No. 65, now it is 112, which shows the development of Western Road in the past 100 years.
This photograph dates from between the years 1871 & 1874.
