Description
The Dundee Savings Bank, located at 2 Euclid Street in Dundee, is a former savings bank building designed by James MacLaren between 1867 and 1869. This two-storey, rectangular-plan structure features Tudor-Gothic detailing and is situated on a corner site. The exterior is constructed of stugged cream ashlar with a platform slate roof adorned with cast-iron brattishing.
The building has a base course and a string course at the first floor, which includes heraldic motifs. The corniced parapet is topped with coped crow-stepped gablets that are supported by colonetted wall posts, linking to a continuous hoodmould above the first-floor windows. The windows are mostly single architraved, with basket-arched designs on the ground floor and blind-traceried aprons on the first floor. The timber sash and case frames feature 8-pane windows on the ground floor and 4-pane windows on the first floor.
On the Euclid Street elevation, there are five bays, with the door located in the second bay from the right, a window to the right, and three windows to the left, along with five windows on the first floor. The Constitution Road elevation showcases a tripartite window at the centre of the ground floor, featuring polished Peterhead granite colonette mullions, with the Dundee coat of arms above. There are additional windows to the left and right, with decorative wrought-iron cill spikes on the ground floor windows, and four windows on the first floor.
Inside, the bank features an encaustic tile floor in the hall, a scale and platt staircase with decorative turned balusters, decorative plaster cornices, and a ceiling rose in the principal first-floor room.
