Description
The building at 4-6 Gilmour Street in Paisley is a former bank designed by architect David Cousin in 1868, showcasing Renaissance architectural style. It is a three-storey structure with four bays facing Gilmour Street, where the left bay is set back and features a recessed quadrant corner, as well as three bays along Dyers Wynd. The exterior is constructed of ashlar stone.
The ground floor has been altered, except for the left bay on Gilmour Street, which retains an architraved door topped with a consoled cornice and two band courses above. The first floor includes a continuous cill course and balustrades beneath the windows, with the exception of the left end bay on Gilmour Street. The windows on this level are lugged architraved, featuring alternating segmental and triangular pediments with carved tympana.
On the second floor, the windows have bracketted cills, architraves, and segmental heads set within slightly raised panels. The building is topped with an entablature that has a modillioned cornice, and the corniced stacks are linked by a balustrade to Dyers Wynd. The roof is covered with slate.
