Vale Of Leven Bingo Club, Bank Street, Alexandria

The Vale of Leven Bingo Club, located on Bank Street in Alexandria, was built in 1862 with additions made around 1930. This two-storey, five-bay public building features a classical temple front, with the outer bays reflecting the 1930s Modern Movement style. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar, with the 1930s additions painted. The building includes a base course, entablature, cornice, and a parapet, along with bipartite round-headed windows that have aprons.

The main elevation presents a symmetrical temple front, enclosed by railings and gates. It features a giant order Doric quatrostyle portico that supports a balustraded parapet and a triangular pediment at the center, which has a datestone indicating the year 1862. The five-bay structure has three doors at the center with a letterbox fanlight above, flanked by broad architraved blind windows. Five bipartite windows on this elevation are currently blocked, and a plain ashlar parapet rises behind the balustraded parapet. The 1930s additions include curved flanking bays on the outer left and right, which have flat roofs with ashlar coping and symmetrically placed strip windows on both the ground and first floors.

The southeast elevation, facing Bridge Street, is a five-bay hall made of squared and snecked rubble, with a 1930s block at the corner. The hall features blank bays divided by pilaster strips, with a single-storey wing that advances at the center ground and a two-bay piend-roofed block to the right that includes a bipartite window. There is a recessed entrance on the outer left, which has a narrow round-headed door with a keystone and steps leading up to it.

The northwest elevation, facing Bank Street, has four broad bays and a 1930s block clasping the left corner. The two bays on the left have bipartite windows on both the ground and first floors, while the bays on the right are slightly recessed and feature two bipartite windows on the upper stage. There is a round-headed door and a bipartite window immediately to its right, with another door on the outer right.

The windows on the main elevation are blocked and replaced with fixed four-pane, top-hopper windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piend shape.

The interior was not seen in 1995. The boundary wall and portals consist of a low pink granite retaining wall with grey granite coping at the front of the building, accompanied by decorative wrought-iron railings. Flanking the entrance are Egypto-classical battered portals, complete with a keystone and cornice.
