Description
30 Bothwell Street in Glasgow is a four-storey modern classical bank building designed by James Miller in 1934. It features a three by seven bay layout and is constructed from Portland stone with a polished granite plinth that forms a stylobate. The entrance on Bothwell Street is marked by a giant order of distyle Greek fluted Corinthian columns in antis, which support the ground and mezzanine/first floor. The entrance includes bronze doors and panels situated between the ground and first floors.
A relief sculpted frieze by Gilbert Bayes adorns the building, depicting themes of Industry, Commerce, Justice, Wisdom, Contentment, and Providence, and is interrupted by the second-floor windows. Above this, there is a dentil cornice, and the tall attic storey features an incised eaves frieze with a Vitruvian scroll. All windows are metal framed casements with a geometric glazing pattern.
On the elevation facing Wellington Street, there are five bays with a plain Doric fluted pilastrade and recessed glazing, complemented by a bronze frieze between the floors. The other architectural details are consistent with those on Bothwell Street.
