Description
The Bank of Scotland, located at 30 High Street in Langholm, is a large three-storey building constructed around 1860 to 1870 in the Italian Renaissance style. It features a recessed and curved corner bay and is built from grey ashlar stone. The building has key-stoned and architraved openings, with round arches at the channelled ground floor and lugged openings above.
A prominent feature is the tall Ionic doorpiece with a pediment, which includes two-leaf panelled doors on both elevations. The building displays rusticated quoins above and around the openings, which are linked vertically by aprons. The first-floor openings are corniced, and there is a pedimented window above the central doorpiece on the three-bay elevation facing High Street. Additional architectural details include a cornice over the ground floor, cill courses to the first and second floors, a mutule cornice, a corniced wallhead, and axial stacks, all topped with a slate roof. The elevation facing John Street consists of four bays.
Inside, the banking hall is fairly plain and is accessed through the main door on High Street. There is a lesser door alongside that leads to the ground flat or office, while the upper flats are entered from a door on John Street.
