Royal Arch Bar, 32 High Street, Montrose

The Royal Arch Bar, located at 32 High Street in Montrose, is a three-storey and attic tenement building dating from around 1860. It features a two-bay design and is part of an irregular terrace. The structure is built from sandstone ashlar with contrasting ashlar margins, while the sides are harled. A cornice runs above the ground floor, and there is a cill band course at the first floor, along with quoins.

The entrance elevation, facing east, showcases a four-bay frontage for the public house on the ground floor, with the entrance positioned to the right and an open pend to the left. The central area has bipartite windows with etched plate glass and low stall risers. Above the pend to the left, there is a small stucco motif of a castle. The first, second, and attic floors are symmetrical, featuring architraved margins at the first floor and quoining at the second. A hoodmould is present between the windows on the first floor, and there are canted, piended dormers above. The rear elevation, facing west, includes a pend to the right and one window above with etched and stained glass.

The building has timber sash and case windows and a grey slate roof, which is topped with large brick and ashlar gablehead stacks. The interior was not seen in 1997.
