21 Lowther Street is a Grade II listed mid-19th-century commercial building of overall high heritage significance within the Carlisle Conservation Area. It was constructed in 1853 for banking use. Furthermore, it retains key characteristics of typical banking architecture, including ashlar stone construction, classical detailing, and a prominent corner presence.
The building’s significance derives primarily from its high aesthetic value and moderate to high historical value. This reflects the commercial development of Lowther Street. Its evidential value is moderate, largely expressed through the survival of its external fabric. Meanwhile, its communal value is low to moderate, stemming from its long-standing commercial use.
Overall, significance is principally embodied in the building’s external architectural quality, landmark townscape role, and positive contribution to the Conservation Area.
