Description

The Clydesdale Bank, located at 2 Market Street in Bo'ness, is a two-storey and attic, four-bay neo-Georgian and classical bank building designed by John Baird and James Thomson of Glasgow in 1904. It features a piend-and-platform roof, with polished red sandstone ashlar on the north and east sides, and harl on the south and west. The building includes a base course, ground and first-floor cill courses, an eaves cornice, and a deep blocking course. The ground floor windows have Gibbsian surrounds and entablatures, while the first-floor windows have architraved openings.

On the principal elevation (east), the central bays at ground level feature windows, with the left bay containing a cash dispensing machine and a small ironwork 'NIGHT SAFE' nearby. Each outer bay has a doorpiece with shallow Ionic pilasters and a two-leaf, twelve-panelled timber door, which is folding on the right side and is topped by a deep plate glass fanlight. The right doorpiece has a triangular pediment with 'BANK' inscribed in the frieze, while the left has an entablature. The first floor has regular fenestration, with two small flat-roofed dormer windows set back behind the blocking course, flanking a dominant stack.

The north elevation features three windows on each floor, with a single dormer above. The west elevation has a single window on each floor in the bay to the right of centre, along with two small closely-aligned dormer windows above. The south elevation has windows on each floor at the outer left and an additional window high up in the centre of the first floor.

The building has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows and is roofed with grey slates. The ashlar stacks are banded and coped, with the eastern stack being cavetto-coped and featuring a full complement of cans, mostly polygonal in shape. The ground floor windows on the east and north sides, except for the one with the cash machine, have cast-iron brattishing.

Inside, the bank features panelled timber shutters.
