2, 4, 6, 8, 8A Bank Street in Airdrie is a classical corner block building designed by William Baird and George Arthur in 1878, with later alterations. It is a 2-storey and mezzanine structure with a long, rectangular plan and nine bays, situated on sloping ground with shops on the ground floor and offices above. The building features a pedimented plinth that displays the Airdrie coat-of-arms on the corner parapet.

The west elevation is nine bays wide, with bowed outer bays. The ground floor has modern shop fronts, and there is a mezzanine to the south. The first floor showcases Tuscan pilasters flanking semicircular-arched windows, which feature projecting keystones and a full entablature that supports a balustraded parapet. The parapet ends in a tripartite corner block on the outer right, which has a carved and painted Airdrie coat-of-arms at the center, flanked by lower segmental pediments.

The east elevation has bays on the left that are obscured by an adjoining building, while the right side has a single-storey, flat-roofed brick extension. The south elevation, facing Graham Street, features a mezzanine above the ground floor and is a smaller version of the west elevation, with a balustrade and a segmentally-arched pediment on the outer right.

The north elevation has irregular fenestration and a coped wallhead stack at the center. The upper storey has plate glass timber sash and case windows, while the ground floor has plate glass shop fronts. The building has a concealed low hipped roof covered with grey slates and lead flashing.

Inside, the ground floor has modern shop fittings, while the upper storey contains offices with some retained plasterwork.
