Description
The Bank of Scotland, located at 2 King Street in Stirling, was formerly the premises of the Stirling Tract Depot. It was built by J., W.H., and J.M. Hay from Liverpool between 1862 and 1863. This three-storey building with an attic is constructed from ashlar stone and features a richly detailed Renaissance style without stylistic decoration.
Notable architectural elements include a recessed, splayed corner bay with a columned entrance balcony above, a pedimented window on the first floor, and an arched recess on the second floor. The building has a wallhead chimney supported by scrolls. The front facing Murray Place has four windows, each with segmental pediments on the first floor and segmental arched windows on the ground and second floors. There are also four porthole dormers on the roof. The King Street elevation features a similar three-window arrangement. The roof is slated.
