Bank, 182 Market Street, Aberdeen

This former bank, located at 182 Market Street in Aberdeen, dates from the late 19th century and features two storeys plus an attic. The building is designed in a Free Style and has three bays, constructed from finely finished white-grey granite ashlar with coursed stonework. Key architectural elements include a base course, round-arched openings with keystone and voussoir details, projecting cills, channelled rusticated pilasters that divide the bays, and quoins. The roofline is marked by an eaves cornice, a balustraded parapet, and gableted windows on the attic floor.

The principal elevation faces northeast and is symmetrical. It features a round-arched doorway at the center of the ground floor, which has a timber door and a fanlight above. On either side of the doorway are pilastered tripartite windows, with a letterbox located below the window to the left. The first floor has a central window flanked by broad round-arched windows, also pilastered. The attic floor showcases a large gableted dormer at the center, topped with a pyramidal stone finial and flanked by spherical finials. There are two smaller dormers on the left and right, each with pyramidal finials, and balustrading between the dormers.

The northwest, southwest, and southeast elevations are obscured by adjoining buildings as of 1999. The windows are a combination of plate glass and small-pane timber framing, and the roof is covered with grey slate featuring terracotta ridges. The interior was not seen in 1999.
