Description
1, 3 Bridge Street in Glasgow is a three-storey and basement bank building designed by John Burnet Snr in 1857, featuring Renaissance detailing. The structure has a three-by-five bay layout with a curved three-bay corner. Channelled pilasters rise through the first and second floors, defining the main blocks. The ground floor is channelled and includes two doorpieces with Ionic columns, as well as tripartite windows on each elevation, which continue on the upper floors towards Carlton Place and the south bay facing Bridge Street.
The southern section has been modernised for a shop. The first-floor windows are consoled and corniced, with cast-iron plant boxes. A band course with discs runs above the first floor. The second floor has plain windows, with those on the corner set behind an engaged paired colonnade. The main cornice features a die balustrade and a tripartite attic window. The corner is topped with a shield of the Bank of Scotland, adorned with a cornucopia and supported by two female statues. There are long banks of stacks.
Inside, some plaster cornices and capitals remain.
