Description
The Glasgow Bank, located at 133 High Street in Kirkcaldy, dates from around 1835 and is a three-storey, four-bay classical former bank. The building features polished ashlar stonework, with a channelled design at the ground level. It has a band course at the ground floor, a cill course at the second floor, and a balustraded eaves cornice with dentils. The windows are architraved, with those on the first floor having lugged frames, while the outer bays are adorned with canopies supported by flat consoles and apron panels.
On the south elevation facing High Street, the design is symmetrical. The ground floor has been modernized with a shopfront that includes a three-part display window on the left and a display window with a deep-set glazed door on the right, flanked by piers and a deep granite fascia between the outer piers. The first and second floors maintain regular fenestration, with the outer bays slightly advanced and an open balustrade above.
The north elevation facing Hill Street consists of three bays. It features steps leading up to a porch with a slated canopy, a modern door in the center, a window in the right bay, and a blocked window in the left bay. There is a window in each bay above, with the left of center window positioned slightly lower. The roof is twin piended with a wallhead stack on the left.
The rear of the building has a 12-pane glazing pattern on the first and second floors to the left, with plate glass glazing elsewhere. All windows are timber sash and case, except for those at the rear which are casement windows. The ground front has fixed display windows, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The building features cavetto coped ashlar stacks with cans.
The boundary walls are made of rubble and are topped with ashlar coping.
