Description

44 High Street in Selkirk is a later 19th-century building with subsequent additions and alterations. It is a two-storey structure with an attic and features three bays, housing shops on the ground floor. The shop front, dating from around 1900, is made of stugged ashlar with droved ashlar dressings on the first floor above. The ground floor has a fascia and a consoled cornice, along with stop-chamfered arrises.

On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a panelled door in the center with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above it. The fascia above displays the gilt number 42. A window is located on the first floor, and there is a rectangular plaque with a carved swan beneath the eaves. The outer bays are mirrored with plate glass fixed-pane shop windows, each featuring a deep-set glazed door with scallop detail at the top rail and a timber swan-neck pediment above the fanlight. The ingo of the outer door recesses is decorated with Duncan's of Glasgow tiles, showcasing pastoral scenes of grazing cattle on the lower vertical panel and sheep above at the frieze, which is associated with the former butcher's shop. A dairy maid is depicted in an elliptical Art Nouveau surround set in green glazed tiles below a decorative tiled frieze from the Buttercup Dairy Company. The entrance has terrazzo flooring, with the initials JAW (for JA Waters) to the right and BDC (for Buttercup Dairy Co) to the left. Above each shop window on the first floor, there are dormers that break the eaves, featuring gabled dormerheads and ashlar finials, although the finial on the left is now missing.

The southeast elevation was not visible in 1995. The building has four-pane timber sash and case windows, except for modern glazing in the attic. It has a slate roof with a platform at the apex and ashlar coped mutual stacks.

Inside, the former butcher's shop on the right has a tiled shop interior, while the tenement and the left shop were not seen in 1995.
