Description
The building at 21 and 23 Market Street in Aberdeen is a former bank, designed by William Smith and constructed between 1858 and 1859. It is a three-storey and attic structure with a symmetrical classical style, currently serving as commercial premises since 2006. The façade features consoled balustraded balconies at the entrance doors located in the outer bays. The exterior is made of grey granite ashlar, which is channelled at the ground level and has raised margins on the upper storeys. There are cill courses, a deep dentilled cornice, and a balustraded parapet. The building also includes pedimented dormers and three deep-set windows on the ground floor, while the first storey has windows with aprons and raised cornices.
The windows are predominantly four-pane timber sash and case with wide astragals, and the roof is covered with grey slates.
The interior has been comprehensively modernised in 2006.
