Description

The Registrar's Office, located at 20 Bank Street in Irvine, is a two-storey, three-bay office building constructed in 1905. It features a Free Style design that blends Baroque and Jacobean elements. The exterior is made of red sandstone ashlar, which is squared and snecked on the sides and rear. Notable architectural details include a deep base course, lugged, architraved window surrounds, and a dividing cornice along with an eaves cornice topped with a parapet that has strapwork carving and corniced dies.

The central bay on the ground floor has four windows, each with keystones and banded architraves that connect them. The outer bays contain round-arched doorways sheltered by segmentally pedimented ashlar canopies, which have panelled soffits supported by deep scrolled ashlar brackets. Above the entrances are monogrammed shields, with "IPC" on the left and "1905" on the right, along with foliate carvings. The doors are panelled, featuring multi-pane upper sections and small-pane fanlights.

On the first floor, there is a bowed oriel window supported by corbelled scrolled brackets in the center, flanked by pilasters with stylised composite capitals that frame the bipartite windows of the outer bays. The building has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass lower sashes and nine-pane upper sections. The roof is covered with grey-green slates and clay ridge tiles, and there are corniced ashlar stacks with terracotta cans. The interior was not seen in 1996.
