John Honeyman & Keppie carried out alterations, including the installation of a lift, to the 1874 Italian Renaissance-style commercial block by Campbell Douglas & Sellars which was itself an extension of the Bank of Scotland's premises at 2 St Vincent Place, designed by J. T. Rochead and built in 1867–70.
