Description
The Caledonian Bank, located on Dornoch Road in Bonar Bridge, is a mid-19th century, two-storey building with a raised basement and three symmetrical bays on each elevation. The exterior is harled, featuring ashlar margins and dressings.
On the north elevation, there is a centrally placed corniced door within a slightly advanced bay that has an open pediment. This is flanked by tripartite windows in the outer ground floor bays. The south elevation also has tripartite windows in the outer bays of both the ground and first floors.
The east and west gables each have single windows at the center of the ground and first floors, with bracketted cills that are taller on the ground floor. A deep band course encircles the house, serving as a lintel course for the raised basement windows. The building features a deep eaves course with modillioned eaves, and ashlar end corniced chimney stacks. The roof is piended and covered with slate.
Additionally, there is a low ashlar coped retaining wall that is topped with decorative cast-iron spearhead railings.
