Bank Of Scotland, 37 Albert Street, Newton Stewart

The Bank of Scotland, located at 37 Albert Street in Newton Stewart, is an early 19th-century building that was enhanced in the later 19th century. Originally a pair of two-bay houses, it is now a symmetrical two-storey, double-pile bank building featuring a four-bay front elevation facing Albert Street. The structure is made of painted rubble with raised painted angles and window margins.

The entrance is centrally placed and features a Roman Doric doorpiece with three engaged columns that support an entablature above two openings. The right side has a door, while the left side, which was formerly a door, is now a window. The entrance has deep cavetto reveals and a double-leaf panelled door, along with a pierced balustrade that includes die piers and ball finials. On either side of the entrance, there are tripartite windows.

On the first floor, the outer bays have tripartite windows, while the inner two bays contain single windows. All windows are fitted with bracketed cills and are sash and case with plate glass glazing. The building features an eaves band and eaves cornice, along with a balustraded parapet that has die piers and urn finials. The ends of the building have skews, pedimented dormers, and tall corniced end and axial stacks, all topped with slate roofs. To the left, there is a modern single-storey flat-roofed bay that is set back. The gable heads are adorned with small square moulded blind panels.
