42-46 North Street, Bo'Ness

42-46 North Street in Bo'ness is a small tenement building constructed in 1891 by Arthur Colville of Edinburgh, featuring a public house and shop on the ground floor. It is designed in the Scots Baronial style and stands two stories tall with an attic, located on a corner site. The exterior is made of coursed rough-faced sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, and it includes a continuous hoodmould or string course over the first floor on the northwest side, as well as an eaves cornice. Architectural details include roll-moulded surrounds, round-headed voussoired windows, corbels, relieving arches, raked cills, and stone mullions.

The northern corner elevation features a rounded, tower-like design with a broad timber door at the ground level. Above this, there is a corbelled first floor with a wide tripartite window, leading to a further corbelled tower head that has a gabled dormer window topped with a ball-finialled turret roof.

On the northwest elevation, there is a small window and door in the second bay from the left at ground level, along with a bipartite window to the outer left. There are additional windows and an altered opening in the bay to the left of center, with a center-door shop to the right. The first floor has four windows and a blank bay with a blind tablet to the outer left. Stone-gabled dormer windows break the eaves in the center and right bays, and there is a crowstepped gable with a window to the left, as well as a modern rooflight to the right of the stack.

The northeast elevation is narrow and crowstep-gabled, featuring two windows at ground level, a single window above, and a round-headed window in the gablehead.

The southern elevation, facing Hamilton Lane, has a shop window to the left at ground level and a door to the right, with two windows above. There is a plain dry-dashed return to the right.

The building's windows are timber sash and case with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns. The turret is covered with grey slates arranged in a fishscale pattern. Coped ashlar stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews, and skewputts are present, along with cast-iron downpipes featuring decorative rainwater hoppers.

Inside, the Anchor Tavern boasts a honeycomb plasterwork ceiling, a timber bar, a decorative gantry, and decorative coloured glass panels in the lower lights of the northwest bipartite window.
