Description

The Clydesdale Bank and North of Scotland Bank, located at 71 Hanover Street in Edinburgh, was designed by David Bryce in 1847. This four-storey and basement building features a three-bay Italianate style and is slightly set forward from the building line. It is constructed of polished cream ashlar sandstone. To the left, there is a pedimented fluted Ionic porch with two-leaf panelled doors. The windows are architraved with pediments and panelled aprons on the first floor, cornices on the second floor, and bay-leaf pulvinated friezes on both levels. The building is topped with a modillioned cornice and a balustraded parapet.

The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The building has corniced ashlar stacks and is covered with grey slates.

The interior is now united with the adjoining building, which is listed separately (Nos 73-77), and was not seen in 1995. The property also features cast-iron railings, similar to those of the adjoining bank, which is noted in a separate listing.
