Description

The Clydesdale Bank, located at 93 High Street in Lochee, Dundee, is a prominent three-storey and attic Scots Baronial corner tenement built by Charles and Leslie Ower between 1875 and 1876. The building features four matching bays on each street side and a canted bay at the corner. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and the canted angle is slightly recessed.

Notable architectural features include a bowed oriel window on the first floor, a gothic balustrade on the second floor, a projecting gable supported by a corbel table and engaged shafts, shouldered arched windows, gun loops, and lancet windows. The ground floor, which previously had gothic details and nook shafts, has been modernised, although it retains a finely carved cornice, four hoodmoulded basket-arched windows, and an inner pair of windows that share a corbelled stone balcony. There are also cast-iron balconies on the single windows. The second floor has a string course and four single light segmental-headed stop-chamfered windows, each with small corbelled stone and cast-iron balconies. A stone gothic balustraded balcony is situated over the oriel window, and there are projecting corbel tables and a pierced parapet with two dormers, each featuring poppyhead hall finials and shouldered arched windows. Small bartizans are located at the building's angles, and it has slate roofs with ridge stacks.

The rear of the building is plain, and a canted agent's window on the ground floor of the east flank has been removed to make way for a modern single-storey extension. All windows, except for the modern ones on the ground floor, are sash and case with a two-pane glazing pattern. The interior of the bank has been modernised.
