Description
2, 4, 6 Bank Street in Irvine is a late 19th-century, three-storey corner tenement featuring a tower and a mix of Tudor, castellated, and Baronial architectural details, with a shop at the ground level. The building is constructed from bull-faced squared and snecked stone, accented with ashlar dressings. It has a cornice above the ground floor and a partially crenellated wallhead, along with hoodmoulds. The gableheads are crowstepped and include blind cross gunloop motifs, with ashlar gablehead stacks topped with billeted coping.
On the Bank Street elevation, there is a modern shop at the ground level. The first and second floors have five bays arranged in a 1-3-1 pattern, with chimneyhead gables over the outer two bays on each side. There is a later addition of a porch on the outer left at ground level, made of ashlar and featuring a door flanked by pilasters with obelisk finials.
The tower at the corner is bowed and extends through the first and second floors, featuring three-light windows and moulded courses. It has a deeply corbelled cornice and a profiled gutter, topped with a candlesnuffer roof that has fishscale bands and a lead ball finial.
On the High Street elevation, there are three bays, with a gabled bay above single windows at the center, detailed similarly to those above. The flanking bays contain stone mullioned bipartite windows.
The building has timber windows with sash and case designs on the second floor, some featuring small-pane upper sashes, while the first floor has casements with leaded upper panes over timber transoms. Decorative rainwater hoppers shaped like winged beasts are present, and the roof is covered with grey-green slate, featuring billeted coping on the stacks and red terracotta cans.
