Similar in character to the nearby Middietons Building, the building is a good example of a bank and adjoining residence.
The bank building, which.abuts the street, has a heavy sculptured front facade, with Ionic columns either side of a central doorway. Side windows flank the columns.
The house is joined to the bank building but is set back from the street, with a variable roofline employing scroll finials. The house is occupied by Brian Duffy Bowen Therapist. The bank is vacant.
Themes: Occupations - Shopkeepers
People - Hendy Cowan
The original building is intact to provide a high degree of integrity but the spanning wall addition detracts from the value.
