Description
Charles Michie Chemists, located at 67-69 High Street in Banchory, is a building from the mid to late 19th century. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring three regular bays. The structure is made of granite rubble with pinnings, and it has an ashlar eaves band. The slate roof is adorned with a pair of canted dormers that are widely spaced over the outer bays, and it has dentilled eaves. There is a small contemporary skylight at the center and ashlar skews with a red tiled ridge. The original glazing consists of 4-pane sash and case windows on the first floor and in the attic.
The shopfront, dating from around 1880 to 1900, features a pair of symmetrically arranged entrances that are set back between picture windows. These windows have a granite ashlar base course and are supported by narrow cast-iron columns with small Ionic style capitals at the corners. The glazing is curved at the entrance splays. Above the shopfront, there is a timber frieze with a dentilled cornice and elaborate consoles, although the center console has been removed. Additionally, there is a 19th-century gilded cast-iron pharmacist shop sign featuring a mortar and pestle, which is canted out on a decorative bracket.
