Description
The Bank of Scotland in Moffat is a large three-storey building constructed around 1875 in the Scottish Baronial style. It is situated on a prominent corner site and features an asymmetrical design. The building is made of snecked whinstone with ashlar dressings and has long and short quoins.
On the High Street elevation, there are paired crowstepped gabled bays to the east, with corbelled sections above the ground floor. The ground floor includes three round-arched windows arranged in a tripartite design, while the first floor has one bipartite window and one single light. To the west, there is one bay and a two-storey angle turret that is corbelled above the ground and first floors, topped with a conical roof.
The elevation facing Church Gate is also asymmetrical, featuring two crowstepped gabled bays. The main entrance is linked by a panelled roof.
