Description
The Royal Bank of Scotland, located at 33-35 Main Street in Largs, was built in 1900 and features a Dutch Renaissance style. This symmetrical building has three stories and an attic, with two flanking wings that are two stories high. It is constructed from polished red sandstone ashlar, with modern granite, glass, and mosaic elements on the ground floor.
The original continuous fascia and cornice can be seen above the ground floor. The first-floor windows are canted and have nine-pane upper sashes, supported by pilastered jambs, with a cornice and balustrade above. The second floor features semi-circular windows with moulded arches that spring from pilasters and include decorative glazing.
The building is topped with a shaped gable adorned with scrolls, pilaster strips, pinnacles shaped like obelisks, seated lions, and a capping segmental pediment with a finial. The central attic has a bipartite aedicular design above a decorative datestone and a corbel table that forms a cill band. The building has end stacks and a slate roof. The left wing has a single bay, while the right wing has two bays, both featuring canted windows similar to those on the first floor of the main block, with a parapet above and balustrades over the windows, and flat roofs.
