15-17 South Street, Bo'Ness

15-17 South Street in Bo'Ness is a three-storey, four-bay, rectangular-plan Baronial tenement building, likely designed by William Simpson of Stirling and dated 1884. The structure features shops on the ground floor and is part of an irregular terrace to the north. It is constructed from bull-faced rubble with dressed stugged ashlar detailing. The ground floor has a frieze and cornice that align with the first-floor cill course, while the second floor jetties out, topped by an eaves cornice. The entrance includes a basket-arched doorway, and there are roll-moulded openings, crowstepped and pedimented dormerheads, hoodmoulds, and stone mullions.

On the principal (south) elevation, there is an angled tower-like bay on the outer right, featuring a door beneath the jettied first floor, a bipartite window, and another bipartite window on the second floor, which leads up to a conical roof topped with a weathervane. The two central bays each have a two-part fixed display window on the ground floor (with the left one blocked) and two windows on each floor above, with the second-floor windows breaking the eaves into semicircular-pedimented heads. The outer left bay has a blocked door at ground level, leading to a heavily-moulded doorhead with the relief-carved date '18' '84', and a bipartite window on each floor above, with the second-floor window breaking into a stepped and crescent-moon-finialled dormerhead featuring a small moulded panel carved with the letter 'B' on a shield.

The east elevation, facing Hope Street, has a central bay with a hoodmoulded door and an adjacent window on the ground floor, a small bipartite window on the first floor, and a single window on the second floor. The bay to the right has a window on each floor, with the second-floor window breaking the eaves into a crowstepped dormerhead.

The west elevation, facing Gibson's Wynd, is asymmetrically fenestrated and includes various elements such as three small pall stones at ground level, a hoodmoulded door to the right, and a crowstepped dormerhead to the left.

The building features largely four-pane and plate glass glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, with some windows blocked. The roof is covered with grey slates and tarpaulin on the west side. There is a coped ashlar stack with cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews and beak skewputts.
