Description
The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at Nos 3 and 5 Bishopsgate, was built in 1877 by T Chatfield Clarke. This stone-faced building features four storeys plus a basement and garret. The ground and first floors are designed within a seven-bay arcade supported by attached Ionic columns on rusticated bases. The windows on these floors are separated by decorated friezes that include relief heads in roundels. The arcade is further enhanced with bas relief figure sculpture in the spandrels and mask keystones. Above, a scalloped frieze with a balustrade runs between the bases of panelled Corinthian pilasters that connect the rusticated second and third floors, supporting an entablature adorned with masks and swags, while the cornice features lion masks. The windows on the second and third floors are recessed in architraved bays and are similarly separated as those on the ground and first floors. The building is topped with segmental pedimented dormers that have ball finials, and it has a slated roof.
