Description

141-145 High Street in Elgin is a classical banking mansion built in 1876 by Peddie and Kinnear. This three-storey, five-bay building features a channelled and rendered ashlar ground floor, with polished ashlar on the first and second floors, along with polished ashlar dressings. The entrance boasts a richly carved centre doorpiece topped with a bracketed pediment, while the eastern ground floor bay serves as a pend entrance, providing access to the upper floors. All windows are adorned with moulded architraves, corniced and apron panelled on the first floor, and lugged on the second. A Greek key frieze runs between the ground and first floors, and there are cill courses for the windows on both the first and second floors. The building is capped with a bracketed cornice, corniced gable chimneys, and a shallow piended slate roof.
