    It was built in 1904 as the Bank of Liverpool.
    Later renamed Martins Bank.
    Taken over by Barclays Bank.
    It's been a Doctor's Surgery for at least 20 years.

    It's a very nice building. I don't know what it was originally.
    The Car Phone Warehouse does nothing to enhance the frontage does it !!

    Welcome to the forum.

    This is a tough one!
    It wasn't a bank or a pub, because it would have been marked as such on the OS maps.
    Way back as far as the 1940s, it was an opticians (but it wasn't built as such).
    Kings the opticians still have part of the building.
    Until a couple of years ago they had all the ground floor.

    I thought the building might be Edwardian, but Joseph Sharples mentions it in passing (page 180) and says "possibly 1880s".

    There is a Liver Bird in one of the panels.
    It needs more investigation.

    Joseph Sharples has written "Liverpool".
    One of the new "Pevsner Architectural Series".

    It gives details of all the Listed Buildings in Liverpool.
    The one you're interested in isn't Listed.

    Here it is in about 1890.
    The stucco decorations and new windows were put into this building in Edwardian times.

    We have just been on a little mystery tour, and saw this building in Cornwallis Street.
    I have never seen it before, probably because I never really have any need to venture down that way

    I have just googled it, and found out it was a Public Baths...so I have kinda answered my own question!

    But still an impressive building!

    bunf,
    The sailors home was in Canning place on the west side.
