Description
50 and 52 North Street in Bo'ness is a small tenement building dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. It is three storeys tall and has three bays above ground, with shops located on the ground floor. The building is part of an irregular terrace to the west and is constructed from sandstone ashlar, with rendered sides and random rubble at the rear. Notable architectural features include a base course, a frieze and cornice at the ground floor, a cill at the second floor, and band and eaves courses. The first-floor windows are corniced and segmental-headed, featuring raised margins.
On the north elevation, there is a shop on the left with a six-panelled timber door, a two-part panelled fanlight, and narrow cast-iron columns on either side. There is a blocked display window to the left and a pilaster beyond. The shop on the right mirrors this design, but its fanlight is not blocked. The first and second floors have regular window arrangements, with a decorative console supporting the centre window on the first floor.
The east elevation features an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, with a gabled bay on the right. The south elevation is blank.
The building has some plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, and it is topped with grey slates. The chimney stacks are made of ashlar and are truncated, with ashlar-coped skews that feature beak skewputts.
