Description

1 Bank Street in Stirling is a four-storey, two-bay corner tenement built in 1890 by John Allan, designed in an old English style. The building features a shop at the ground level and is situated on a site that slopes to the north and east. It is constructed from Welsh urban brick with decorative polychromatic banding on the first and second floors, a half-timbered gable, and painted render at the ground level.

On the north elevation facing Baker Street, there are three bays at the ground level, with a recessed entrance in the center flanked by two 19th-century shop windows. The first floor has two segmental-arched windows, with an armorial plaque located at the center. The second floor features a four-light canted oriel window in the middle, while the third floor has stone-mullioned bipartite windows on either side, set beneath a jettied and gabled design.

The west elevation facing Bank Street has a paired entrance on higher ground to the outer right, with a frieze and cornice above, flanked by panelled colonnettes on consoles. The shop frieze continues from the north elevation at the first floor. To the right, there is a two-storey, half-timbered oriel that projects slightly. The elevation includes a small window in the center, a window to the left on both the first and second floors, and a small window to the right of center on the third floor. The third floor and gablehead feature half-timbering that jetties out above.

The southeast elevation is partially obscured by an adjoining building, but it includes a single window to the right in the chimney gable that breaks the eaves. The windows throughout the building are predominantly timber casement with sash and case styles, and the roof is covered with graded grey slates, featuring terracotta cresting along the ridge and brick gable end stacks with raised banding.
