Description
The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at 92-98 West George Street in Glasgow, is a six-storey modern classical bank and office building designed by James Miller in 1930. The building features a Portland stone façade with a marble-clad plinth and has five by two bays. It includes casement windows with metal glazing bars and fluted stylised Corinthian pilasters that extend from the ground to the first floor. The tall windows of the banking hall are complemented by first-floor windows that are separated by a bronze relief frieze. A full-height bronze doorpiece adorned with antefixae and an acroterion adds to the entrance's grandeur.
Additional architectural details include low relief angle panels at the first and sixth floor frieze level, a dentil band at the first-floor cornice, plain windows on the second floor, and a cill band on the third floor. The windows from the third to the sixth floors are set in tall recesses divided by pilaster strips and are horizontally separated by bronze relief panels between floors, topped with a main dentil cornice. There is a low entrance to the north on West Nile Street.
Inside, the banking hall features fluted pilasters, and the entry to the upper floors at 98 West George Street is lined with marble.
