Description

Hawick Conservative Club, located at 22 Bourtree Place, was designed by James Pearson Alison and completed in 1897, with 20th-century additions to the rear. This two-storey Classical clubhouse features a Doric porch and a balustraded first-floor balcony supported by consoles, set within a recessed three-bay central section. The outer bays project and are topped with pediments, while a gabled hall is located at the rear. The building is constructed of tooled yellow sandstone ashlar with polished ashlar dressings, and includes a base course, a blank first-floor frieze, an eaves course, and a moulded cornice with antifixae. The corners are accentuated with rusticated quoins, and the windows are segmental-arched in lugged architraves on the ground floor, with rectangular architraved windows elsewhere.

On the northwest (principal) elevation, there are six stone steps leading to a central timber front door, which is multi-pane-glazed and features a rectangular fanlight. This door is framed by a Roman Doric twin-columned porch, which has a frieze inscribed with: 'MEMORIAL STONE LAID BY MARGARET COUNTESS OF DALKEITH 16TH OCTOBER 1897'. Above the porch is the balustraded balcony, supported by console brackets on the flanking bays. The projecting outer bays each contain two ground-floor windows, with a single canted window on the first floor, topped by a balustrade and an oculus in the pediment. There is an additional two-bay section to the outer right that includes a secondary door.

The northeast (side) elevation features a three-bay Classical section to the right, complete with segmental-pedimented dormers. To the left is a broad gabled hall that has a single tripartite mullioned and transomed window, alongside a smaller, 20th-century, recessed, rendered gabled hall on the outer left.

The windows are predominantly plate glass in timber sash-and-case style. The building has corniced ashlar stacks with buff clay cans and a grey slate roof, along with predominantly cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a central lobby with parquet flooring that leads to a scale-and-platt stair. Some cornices are present, and there is a stone cellar with some brick partitions.
