5 Bank Street in Dundee is a commercial building designed by James MacLaren in 1878. It has four storeys and a basement, featuring five bays and a classical design. The exterior is finished in cream ashlar stone, with rubble at the rear, and topped with a grey slate platform roof that includes a cupola.

The rear elevation includes five stair windows positioned to the centre right, a single window on the right side for all four floors, and a single window on the left side for the ground and first floors, with tripartite windows on the second and third floors.
