Royal Bank Of Scotland, 19 Main Street, Glenluce

The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at 19 Main Street, Glenluce, dates from 1899. It is a two-storey, three-bay bank building situated at the end of a terrace. The building is constructed of red sandstone, with bull-faced squared and snecked masonry and red sandstone ashlar dressings. The north elevation uses rubble masonry with red sandstone ashlar margins. Ashlar margins are rybated and chamfered, and a molded string course runs between the floors on the south and east elevations. A deep eaves cornice is present on the south elevation, extending around to the west and east elevations and continuing on the east as an eaves course.

The south elevation, facing Main Street, features a keystoned round-arched doorway at the centre, with double stop-chamfered reveals, and a tripartite door set within a multi-pane surround. Keystoned round-arched, timber mullioned and transomed tripartite windows are positioned in the outer bays at ground floor level. The first floor has ashlar mullioned and transomed windows in the outer bays, with a small bipartite window at the centre that has a straight hoodmould. The string course steps over a molded panel, with "18 NB of S 99" inscribed above the doorway, accompanied by two scroll motifs below.

The east elevation, facing Church Street, has two small bipartite windows at the centre of the ground floor, each with a mannered relieving arch. A single window is located to the left on the first floor. Two wallhead stacks are situated to the left and right of the centre, offset from just below the string course at the first floor. The elevation continues to the right at ground floor level with a saddleback coped wall, topped with a ball finial, where the string course continues. A gateway with an overthrow is to the right, alongside a tall, painted rubble wall with semicircular tile coping, which adjoins and extends along Church Street.

The west elevation adjoins a lower building at No. 17 Main Street (listed separately).

The north elevation has a window at the centre and bipartite windows in the outer bays at first floor level. Ground floor windows are positioned at the centre, to the left, and to the right of the centre, with a small piended wing adjoined to the right. The windows have multi-pane glazing in the upper lights and plate glass in the lower lights at ground floor, and four-pane upper lights and plate glass lower lights at the first floor. Corniced and shouldered wallhead stacks are present, with coped scrolled detail to the shouldering. There are two stacks to the east elevation, two to the west, with a south stack adjoined to the stack of No. 19 Main Street, and a north stack that is not detailed. The stacks are linked to the roof pitch by mansard-like extensions. The roof is a piended platform roof covered in small grey-green slates, with leaded scrolls to the angles of the platform. Cast-iron rainwater goods are continued through the string course, with corniced guttering. Two flat-roofed dormer windows are situated on the south and north pitches of the roof.
