Description
The Commercial Bank of Scotland, located at 34-36 St Enoch Square in Glasgow, is a four-storey building with an attic, dating from around 1860. The ground floor bank was established in 1888 by Sydney Mitchell and Wilson and was reconstructed around 1931 by J McCallum from Edinburgh.
The building features three main bays with windows arranged in a 2-3-2 pattern. It is constructed with ashlar stone, a marble plinth, and a granite-faced ground floor. The ground floor includes incised friezes above the entrances in the outer bays. The windows are primarily T-pane casement style, with elliptically arched, moulded windows on the first floor. The central bays have pilaster strips that stop at one-third height, extending up to the third floor.
The second floor has shouldered lintels, moulded cills, and a plain entablature. The third floor features moulded cills and round-headed two-light windows with colonette mullions, along with half-height pilaster strips in the central bays. The cornice is corbelled, and there is a pierced die parapet with a gabled ramped dormer. The roof is a slate mansard style, raised to a pavilion type in the center and topped with an iron rail.
