Full Description
Irregular wide 3-bay bank building with Renaissance decorative detailing to street frontage. Designed by J. D. Corrigall, Keith, 1908. Constructed of bullfaced rubble with extensive polished ashlar dressings. Wide bay at the southwest with central door (to banking hall) with flanking windows under overall shallow segmental head. Similar but narrower ground floor window to left. Entrance to upper floor in narrow northwest bay under round-headed light. Square-headed transomed and/or mullioned first floor windows (with 2, 4, 6 lights). Bays delineated by blocked engaged columns at ground floor level and by similarly detailed Ionic pilasters at first floor and projecting mutule cornices between ground and first floor and at wallhead. Pediment crowns outer banking hall bay with centre oculus in swagged tympanum. Bullfaced rubble return gable with paired ground floor mullioned and transom windows and two single first floor windows. Further gabled rear wing with irregular fenestration and single pane glazing. Coped end stacks and slate roofs. Building, designed with large windows because of narrow street frontage, comprising bank and bank agent's house (latter now offices).
