Description
The Savings Bank at 9 Church Crescent in Dumfries was designed by J Gregan of Manchester in collaboration with Alexander Crombie of Dumfries in 1847. This two-storey building is in the Neo-Classical style. The ground floor features a rusticated finish with a decorative band course above, and the end bays are slightly advanced, each with a flat-arched doorway that has projecting voussoirs in the Vanbrughian style. The upper floor is framed by Roman Ionic columns and corniced windows that have balustraded aprons.
The central bay displays three arched windows on the ground floor, with a Venetian feature above that is flanked by Corinthian pilasters. Above this is a niche containing a painted stone statue of Rev Henry Duncan of Ruthwell, created by John Currie of Dumfries, with an inscription panel in the apron beneath it. The sidelights also feature balustraded aprons. The building has an entablature with a parapet that is raised at the center. The ground floor windows have margin-panes, while the upper windows are fitted with plate glass sashes.
Inside, the banking hall includes an Ionic columned screen.
