Gardeners Arms, 2-6 Main Street, Bo'Ness

The Gardeners Arms, located at 2-6 Main Street in Bo'Ness, is a public house that likely dates from the late 19th century and may have been designed by James Thomson. This two-storey building features three bays and is constructed in a classically detailed style, set within an irregular terrace to the east. The exterior is made of ashlar stone, with a channelled finish at the ground level. Notable architectural elements include a cornice at the ground floor, a cill course at the first floor, and an eaves cornice topped with a blocking cornice. The central bay is accentuated by a ball-finialled pediment and pilasters, while keystones are present throughout, along with some round-headed and architraved openings and stone mullions.

On the principal north elevation, the ground floor features fluted capitals and a full-height pilastered centre bay with a tripartite arcaded commercial shopfront. This shopfront includes a keystoned doorway with a two-leaf panelled timber door on the left, and two similarly keystoned windows on the right, each flanked by slender decorative columns. The first floor showcases a wide-centre tripartite window with a keystone and voussoirs, topped by a full-width pediment with a blind panel. To the right of the centre, there are two broad doors at ground level—one is a two-leaf panelled door with a blocked fanlight, and the other is boarded with a glazed fanlight. A tall bipartite window is located in the left bay, featuring a tiny pediment over paired fluted capitals. The first floor has bipartite windows in the outer bays and a small semicircular pediment at the eaves on the outer left.

The west elevation is a blank rendered wall with a gable on the left side. The building has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, and fixed display glazing in the round-headed windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and features a cavetto-coped ashlar ridge stack with a polygonal can, along with truncated gablehead stacks. The skews are ashlar-coped, and there are cast-iron square-section downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

Inside, the building boasts decorative plasterwork cornices, a shallow frieze, and a keystone.
