Bank Of Scotland, 5 Torrisdale Street, Glasgow

The Bank of Scotland, located at 5 Torrisdale Street in Glasgow, is a late 19th century building originally serving as the British Linen Bank. This three-storey structure is made of red ashlar and features classical details. The street elevations are balustraded and not identical, with an octagonal corner bay that houses the bank entrance, which is marked by a granite-columned doorcase and sculptured ornamentation. The first floor has window hoods supported by consoles, and there is a blind drum stage set above the main eaves, culminating in a facetted roof.

The ground level has been stone-cleaned and features channeling along Torrisdale Street, with inset pilasters positioned close to the upper flats. There is an arcade facing Pollokshaws Road, which includes a shop. On the first floor, window architraves overlay the pilasters, and there are three-light windows at the northern end of the Pollokshaws Road elevation. Most of the original plate glass sash windows remain intact. The building is topped with corniced stacks and slate roofs.
