Description
The Bank of Scotland, located at 3 Gilmour Street in Paisley, is an Italian Renaissance-style building designed, probably by architect James Salmon, around 1850. This three-storey structure features three bays on the cross and three bays facing Gilmour Street, with a curved corner bay. The building is constructed of ashlar stone.
The ground floor has been altered, but the cornice remains intact. On the first floor, there are sash windows, each adorned with an entablature supported by flanking Corinthian columns on pedestals, with decorative panels between them. The corners and the Gilmour Street side are fretted, and there is a continuous cill course. Above the first floor, a dentilled cornice serves as the cill course for the second floor, which features pilastered windows with ornamented friezes. The building is topped with a console course and a modillion cornice, along with a die parapet that has stacks, which are the only remaining complete features. The roof is slated with end stacks.
