Description
35-41 South Street in Bo'Ness is a small tenement building designed by James Thomson between 1901 and 1902. It stands three stories tall and has four bays above ground, featuring shops on the ground floor and some Jacobean architectural details. The exterior includes narrow ashlar bands with ashlar dressings, an entablature on the ground floor that serves as a cill course for the first floor, and a cornice on the first floor that acts as a cill course for the second floor, along with an eaves cornice. The windows above the ground floor are architraved, with tabs and panelled windowheads on the first floor that resemble vertical panels across both floors. The ground floor showcases banded pilasters with fluted capitals, keystones, corbels, stop-chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.
On the principal elevation (south), the original details of the ground floor are preserved, featuring dividing pilasters. The shop fronts include in-canted doorways, mosaic-tiled doorsteps, and two-leaf part-glazed timber doors in the center and right bays. The left bay has a two-part fixed display window with a dividing fielded pilaster, while the narrow bay on the outer right has a stepped keystone above a six-panelled timber door with a deep plate glass fanlight. Each floor above has bipartite windows in the bays to the right of center and single windows in the left bays.
The southwest corner elevation has stepped pilasters flanking a modern door on the ground floor, with a single window on each floor above framed by plain pilasters that are corbelled to a polygonal base of a shaped gablehead dated '1902'. This gablehead is topped with a semicircular pediment featuring an obelisk finial.
The west elevation (Market Street) consists of two bays, with a fixed display window on the right and a single window on the left at ground level, while the upper floors have regular fenestration.
The building features plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, with some uPVC on the second floor. The roof is covered with grey slates and decorative terracotta ridge tiles and finials. It has cavetto-coped, banded ashlar stacks with cans and ashlar-coped skews, along with cast-iron square-section downpipes.
Inside, numbers 37 and 39 have decorative plasterwork cornices, and number 39 features boarded timber walls.
