49 North Bridge Street, Hawick

49 North Bridge Street in Hawick is a building designed by James Pearson Alison around 1899. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay structure featuring shops on the ground floor and flats above, showcasing Dutch architectural detailing. The exterior is made of lightly stugged, coursed red sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. Notable features include a fascia, moulded cornices at both the ground and first floors, and a blocking course. The ground floor has Doric pilasters at the outer left and right, flanking a central timber panelled door with a small-pane-glazed fanlight. The shops on either side of the door have small-pane glazing above, arched at the outer windows, with plate glass below and recessed glazed doors. A central recessed canted window is present on the first floor, topped by a shaped gable with a scrolled pediment and a cartouche featuring a monogram.

The first floor of the principal elevation has non-traditional glazing, while some four-pane timber sash and case windows can be found at the rear. The building has stone skews, a corniced end stack to the right with circular cans, and a grey slate roof, along with a cast-iron downpipe.

Inside, the left shop features a single cast-iron column and some glazed ceramic wall and floor tiles, while the right shop has timber panelling.
