Bank Of Scotland, 52 Queensberry Street, Dumfries

The Bank of Scotland, located at 52 Queensberry Street in Dumfries, was designed by H O Tarbolton around 1933. This corner bank features classical architectural details and stands three storeys tall with an attic and a drum topped with a dome at the southwest corner. The west elevation facing Queensberry Street has three bays, while the elevation on Great King Street has four bays. The ground floor is finished in polished granite, complemented by a contrasting black granite doorway in the right bay of both elevations. The windows are adorned with bronze glazing bars, and there is a broad band above the ground floor.

The first and second floors are clad in polished red ashlar, with windows that are mainly tripartite and recessed within tall, linking round-arched panels featuring margined glazing. The southwest angle is channelled, and the building has an eaves course, cornice, and a parapet with iron railings. Dormers are integrated into the steep pavilion roof and the drum, and the dome is covered with copper.

Inside, the banking hall has a suspended ceiling, while the vestibule leading to Great King Street is lined with marble and includes steps to the upper floors.
