Description
The Clydesdale Bank, located at 100-102 High Street in Dalkeith, was built in 1855 and features a three-storey, four-bay simple classical design that also includes the bank manager's house. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with the ground floor of the west elevation painted. It has a base course, a cill course at the first floor, and a band course between the first and second floors. The eaves cornice and blocking course add to its architectural detail. The windows are architraved, with lugged and keystoned designs at the first floor.
On the west elevation facing High Street, there are basket-arched openings that form a tripartite bank front at the ground level. To the outer left, a pend with a fanlight leads to White's Close. The center features a broad two-bay opening, and there is a former door opening to the outer right, both now fitted with modern glazing. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, and above the fascia, there is a consoled dentilled cornice. A moulded panel inscribed with "1855" and a cartouche bearing a shield are located between the center bays at the first floor.
The north elevation is adjoined to Nos 104 and 106 High Street. The south elevation has harling above a two-storey modern wing, with a small margined window to the left. The east elevation features a large two-storey modern addition to the left, with a window to the right at the first floor above the pend and two louvred windows at the second floor.
The building has a 12-pane glazing pattern in its sash and case windows, with coped skews and scroll skewputts on the west side. The skew from a former adjoining building connects to the skews on the north side. Ashlar gablehead stacks are narrow on the south side, and the roof is covered with grey slates.
