68-70 South Street, Bo'Ness

68-70 South Street in Bo'ness is a late 18th century, two-storey and attic, five-bay flatted dwelling. The building features a late 20th century shop at ground level that is not in keeping with the original character. The exterior is made of painted ashlar with raised margins and quoin strips, while the sides and rear are harled. Architectural details include a base course, a bracketed cornice at the ground floor, and an eaves course. The façade is enhanced by fluted Doric pilasters with triglyphed entablatures above the eaves, supporting an open-pedimented gablet. The windows are keystoned and round-headed.

On the principal (north) elevation, the ground floor has a central door flanked by multi-pane fixed windows. The first floor features five regularly spaced windows, and there is a small round-headed window in the centre of the gablet, with three Velux rooflights on the sloping sides of the roof.

The east elevation is a blank gable, while the south (rear) elevation has been altered and includes a variety of elements, such as an advanced gable on the left and an extension on the right.

The windows throughout the building have a 12-pane glazing pattern with a decoratively astragalled upper sash over a 6-pane lower sash, all made of timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped harled and ashlar stacks with some chimney cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews with scroll skewputts.
