Description

7 Graham Street in Airdrie is a former bank building designed by William Railton in 1870. This three-storey, three-bay structure features a rectangular plan and a gabled Jacobethan style. The ground floor has an advanced canted bay at the center, with large dormers that break the eaves. The building is constructed of bull-faced red sandstone with ashlar margins and includes long and short quoins. It has a base course and a moulded band at the cill height of the third storey, along with stopped, shouldered hoodmoulds over the openings.

On the south elevation, the advanced canted bay has a coped parapet and is flanked by twin semicircular-arched entrances. There are stone steps leading to modern timber doors with semicircular-arched fanlights, and a carved intertwined 'CBC' monogram above the left door. The second floor features four square-headed windows, while the third floor has segmentally-arched dormers that break the eaves, topped with star finials on the outer bays and a ball finial in the center. The ashlar gable walls rise to form skew putts.

The north elevation was not visible in 2001. The east side has a blind gable end that is partially obscured by an adjacent building, while the west side also has a blind gable end.

The windows are made of plate glass and timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates and features lead flashing. Decorative cast-iron guttering with strapwork brackets and canted hoppers is present, along with coped, raised skews and gable stacks.

The interior of the ground floor has been refitted as a modern bar, while the upper floors were not seen in 2001.
