Description
The Bank of Scotland, located at 88 High Street in Coldstream, is a former British Linen Bank built in the late 19th century, designed in the French Renaissance style. This two-storey building with an attic features a symmetrical six-window front made of ashlar stone.
A projecting porch is supported by two engaged Ionic columns on pedestals, flanking the entrance door, with sash windows on either side. Above the porch, there is an entablature and a baluster parapet. The bipartite windows on either side of the porch are complemented by an architraved door to the left and a sash window to the right end bay. All windows are architraved and have moulded bracketed cills, with panels above them.
On the first floor, the two central windows are set forward and framed by panelled Corinthian pilasters, with the outer windows paired. These architraved sashes feature a moulded cill course and shaped aprons. The eaves have an entablature with a die and baluster parapet, and there are three wallhead dormers. The outer dormers have sashes flanked by panelled Ionic pilasters and scrolls, topped with entablatures and steep pediments. The inner dormer has a bipartite window with similar pilasters and entablature, along with wider scrolls. Above the entablature, there is a raised corniced block with a steep pediment.
The building has a platformed slate roof with central stacks, and the side elevations are constructed of snecked and stugged ashlar, featuring margined windows.
