Description
62-70 High Street in Selkirk is a public hall built in 1876, which incorporates earlier structures and has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is two stories high and has seven bays. The ground floor is harled, while the first floor features stugged ashlar with droved ashlar dressings. The adjoining two-story building to the south has whinstone rubble with droved ashlar dressings.
The northeast elevation has bays arranged in a nearly symmetrical pattern of 2-1-1-1-2. At the ground level of the central gabled bay, there are three shoulder-arched blinded windows, with the central window being narrower. Above, there is a tripartite window at the first floor, which has an additional light above the center. A triangular datestone and name plaque reading "Union Hall" is located in the gablehead. Each of the flanking bays has a window at the first floor that is slightly set back. To the inner right, there is a shoulder-arched doorway with a modern glazed door. The outer two-bay groups are swept and each has a window at the first floor.
The northwest elevation, facing High Street, is grouped into seven bays, with a 4-3 arrangement (the three bays on the right belong to an earlier building that has now merged with the former hall). The four-bay group has a blank ground level, with a window at the first floor for each bay, featuring a cill course and block pediments above. The three-bay group has a bipartite window at the center of the first floor, with windows in each flanking bay. There is a modern shopfront at the ground level.
On the east elevation, which faces Back Row, there is a door opening at the ground level with a blinded window above at the first floor. Each flanking bay has a window on both floors, with the bay to the right having a blinded window at the first floor.
The building features plate glass timber sash and case windows, with some later alterations, including three-pane plate glass timber sash and case windows on the northeast elevation. The roof is slate, with ashlar coped stacks and a rendered and coped mutual stack on the northwest side. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1995.
