Description
8 Holburn Street in Aberdeen is a three-storey and attic bank building designed by J B Nicol in 1932. It is constructed from coursed grey granite ashlar and features dividing band courses, cill courses for the first and second floors, an eaves course, an eaves blocking course, and rectangular dormers on the attic floor.
The southeast elevation facing Holburn Street is symmetrical, with channelled rustication on the ground floor. It has a modern doorway at the center, flanked by plate-glass windows on either side. The first floor includes architraved windows with keystone detailing, and a central window tympanum adorned with a swan-neck pediment dated "1932." The second floor has pilastered regular fenestration, and there is a balustraded parapet above. The attic floor features a pedimented five-light window.
The northeast and southwest elevations are obscured by adjoining terraces, while the northwest elevation was not visible in 2000.
The building predominantly has 15-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate mansard roof with lead ridges, corniced stacks with circular cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The ground floor has been refurbished for use as a bank, while the remainder of the interior was not seen in 2000.
