Description
27-29 North Street in Bo'Ness is a mid-19th century building consisting of a two-storey and attic, two-bay house that now includes a shop on the ground floor, with its original form unaltered. It is part of an irregular terrace featuring a two-storey, three-bay pair of houses, also with original shops at ground level. The structure is built of ashlar and squared rubble, with stone cills, and has deep base and eaves courses.
On the southeast elevation, No. 25 features a timber door located in the bay to the left of centre, with a single barred window to the right and a broad fascia above that reads 'The Barbers Chair'. The first floor has a bipartite window to the left and another window to the right, topped by a flat-roofed dormer window.
Nos. 27 and 29 have part-glazed, two-leaf timber doors in the two central bays at ground level, with enlarged fixed display windows in the flanking bays and a broad fascia above. The first floor includes three windows.
The building showcases 10-, 12-, and 15-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with concrete pantiles, and No. 25 has a slate eaves easing course. Coped ashlar stacks with cans are present as well.
