2-6 Cadzow Street, Hamilton

3-5 Castle Street in Hamilton is a former bank building designed by Gavin Paterson in 1899, showcasing a three-storey Beaux-Arts style on a corner site. The exterior features tooled red ashlar stone and a slate roof, with a deep polished Peterhead granite base course, string course, and cill course at the first floor. The building has a cartouche-corbelled cornice at the angle parapet and a chamfered wallhead cornice facing Castle Street. Each elevation is topped with coped crowstepped chimney gables, which include round-headed pilasters and corbel panels, along with corniced stacks.

The ground floor boasts large round-headed windows with moulded heads and cartouche details, while the upper floors feature single and bipartite architraved windows, complete with consoled balconies facing Cadzow Street and the angle bays. The glazing is mostly sash and case, with plate glass on the bottom and multi-pane on the top. An octagonal angle turret is adorned with keystoned round windows, demi-columns at the corners, a bracketed cornice, and a facetted conical roof. The cast-iron rainwater goods include decorative hoppers.
