1-3 South Street, Bo'Ness

1-3 South Street in Bo'Ness is a two-storey, five-bay flatted dwelling built in the late 19th century, featuring shops on the ground floor. It is situated on a corner site that completes an irregular terrace. The building is constructed with polished and stugged ashlar, and has architraved openings, along with roughly coursed rubble and dressed quoins. There is a part base course and a ground floor cornice that forms the first floor cill course, as well as an eaves cornice. The shop openings are basket-arched and include stone mullions.

On the south elevation, there is a bay to the left of center on the ground floor with a panelled timber door and a blocked fanlight. To the outer left, there is a bipartite window under a stepped fascia board. The center has an altered round-arched recessed panel with a small window, while the penultimate bay to the right features a part-glazed door and a fixed display window, both basket-arched, along with a bipartite window to the outer right, all under a fascia board. The first floor has two closely-aligned windows in the center and bipartite windows in the outer bays.

The southwest corner elevation has a piend roof and a large fixed display window at the center of the ground floor, which may have been a blocked door. This is flanked by full-height round-arched panels with chamfered outer angles, and there is a fascia board above. The first floor has two windows flanking a relief-carved shield, with a wallhead stack centered above.

On the north elevation, there are three ashlar bays to the right and two angled rubble bays to the left. The right bays feature a deep-set panelled timber door with a cornice and console, along with a deep plate glass fanlight at the center. To the right, there is a large basket-arched three-part fixed display window, and to the left, a bipartite window with panelled aprons. The first floor has a single window in the center and flanking bipartite windows. The angle is chamfered and corbelled to a square at the first floor to the left of center, leading to slightly set-back angled bays with a single window on the outer left at ground and two windows on the first floor flanking a dominant shouldered wallhead stack.

The building features replacement timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, grey slate roofing, and coped ashlar stacks with cans, along with a rubble stack to the north. Decorative rainwater hoppers are attached to cast-iron downpipes.
