National Commercial Bank Of Scotland, 92, 94 Irish Street, Dumfries

The National Commercial Bank of Scotland, located at 92 and 94 Irish Street in Dumfries, is a former bank building designed by Walter Newall around 1820, with alterations made by A G Sydney Mitchell in 1885. This three-storey Classical building sits on a corner site, featuring a fluted Greek Doric colonnade facing Irish Street, while the treatment on Bank Street is plainer. The exterior is made of polished, painted sandstone ashlar.

On the Irish Street side, the building has four bays, with the architectural treatment extending for two additional bays along Bank Street. The inner bays are slightly recessed and feature a Doric colonnade at the ground level. There is a base course, a corniced fascia, a cill course on the second floor, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The ground floor is channelled along Bank Street. The windows are regularly spaced, with corniced margins and shallow pediments above the first-floor windows in the outer bays. The entrance consists of two-leaf timber panelled doors, which are recessed between paired plain pilasters.

The Bank Street block is slightly lower than the Irish Street block and consists of six bays, with the two bays on the right being more widely spaced than the others. It features a base course, a cornice on the first floor, a cill course on the second floor, an eaves course, and a blocking course, along with corniced window margins. The former shop front window margins on the left side consist of openings that are mostly filled in.

Throughout the building, there are 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, and it has a slate roof.
