53 Castle Street, Aberdeen, Category A listed bank building in Castle Street, Aberdeen, Scotland
The granite structure at 53 Castle Street spans three floors and features classical architectural details with turrets and ornate stonework at its corners.
The Union Bank building, constructed in 1801 by architect James Burn, replaced Pitfodel's Lodging which stood at this location since 1530.
The building exhibits the evolution of Aberdeen's financial district through its transformation from a residential property into a prominent banking institution.
The Bank of Scotland occupies the main section of the building while an additional wing extends down Marischal Street with separate access points.
William Smith's original interior design elements remain intact, displaying nineteenth-century banking hall features and craftsmanship throughout the structure.
