Description
31 and 33 South Street in Bo'ness is a small two-storey tenement building with four bays, dating from 1901 and designed by Peter L Henderson. It features a shop on the ground floor situated on a corner site, characterized by crowstepped and shaped gables. The construction includes bull-faced rubble and ashlar with ashlar dressings, along with a ground floor frieze, cornice, eaves course, corbel, and stone mullions.
On the south (principal) elevation, the shop is located to the right at ground level, showcasing two large two-part display windows. To the left of the shop, there is a deep frieze and four windows on each floor above, topped by a crowstepped gable over the bays to the right.
The southeast (corner) elevation features a ground floor with a part-glazed timber door and a large plate glass fanlight at the canted angle, which is corbelled to the bowed floors above. Each of these floors has a large bipartite window that leads to a decoratively-finialled conical roof.
On the east (Market Street) elevation, the ground floor includes a large display window to the left and a door to the right, with two windows on each floor above, culminating in a prominent shaped gablehead.
The building primarily has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, although some are uPVC. It is roofed with grey slates and features coped ashlar and bull-faced rubble stacks, some with cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews.
