Description
62-64 South Street in Bo'ness is a two-storey property built in 1903 by James Thomson, featuring a single bay and a shop on the ground floor. The building is constructed of stugged ashlar with polished ashlar dressings, and the sides and rear are harled. The ground floor has a frieze and cornice, with a bracketed cill and stone mullions.
The principal elevation showcases a traditional shop front, which includes an in-canted two-leaf part-glazed timber door and a plate glass fanlight to the right, along with a fixed display window to the left. Above this, there is a modern fascia that leads to a centre-pedimented tripartite window at the first floor, featuring a moulded apron and pulvinated frieze, along with a relief carved fleur-de-lis in the gablehead.
The east elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated, displaying a variety of elements, including a door located at the outer left on the ground floor. The south (rear) elevation is a plain gabled design, which includes a satellite dish in the gablehead.
The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case frames, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The building features coped harled stacks and stepped ashlar-coped skews with carved skewputts.
