33 Spittal Street, originally built 1825-27 as the Commercial Bank, designed by James Gillespie Graham. Classical 5-bay street elevation dominated by Doric columned portico. Converted to use as the first Stirling Infirmary by Peddie & Kinnear 1873-74, and subsequently enlarged in 1878, 1883 and 1913. Superceded by a new Infirmary in 1928, and later used as a district library and offices for the Forth Valley Health Board.

Visited by RCAHMS in June 2009 prior to conversion to a hotel. Interiors are much altered from both the original layout and the early 20th century incarnation of the building.
