Make a concise location description of a depressing scene inside a bank with barred doors, an abacus, and quill.

Stark white walls and dull grey stone floor tiles suck any vestige of warmth from the very air. Grim-faced folk pass by in both directions, and from behind heavily barred doors comes the sound of clinking coins and the scratching sound of quill on parchment with the staccato clicking of an abacus adding a disjointed rhythm to the sounds, not unlike dry bones clacking in some bizarre parody of a dance.
