Description

The building at 29 Low Street in Banff is a bank constructed in 1891. It is a two-storey structure with an attic and features a wide three-bay design. The front is made of polished ashlar, while the return gables are constructed from dark whinstone. The central entrance is highlighted by a consoled segmental-headed pediment and moulded jambs. The outer bays contain tripartite windows on both the ground and first floors, with ground floor cornices that serve as sills for the first floor windows. All windows have moulded jambs, including the central first floor window which has a lugged lintel. The original tripartite dormers are present in the outer bays, and the windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case frames.

The building features bull-faced quoins, a deep wallhead cornice, and a plain blocking course. The rear elevation is regular, with margined coloured glazing in the central stair windows. The first floor windows are segmental-headed and break the wallhead in the piended dormerhead. There are corniced end stacks and a slate roof.

Inside, the bank has moulded doorpieces with a pulvinated cornice leading to the banking hall and first floor entries.
