Description
The Post Office at 37 South Street in Duns is a single-storey building with a gabled roof, designed in the early 20th century by either Walter Wood Robertson or William Thomas Oldrieve. It features a three-bay layout constructed from squared and snecked bull-faced pink sandstone, with ashlar dressings. The outer bays are connected by a balustraded parapet.
The left bay includes a door positioned to the left, accompanied by a window. The doorcase has stop-roll-moulded arrises and a cornice, topped with a three-pane fanlight. The central bay contains three joined windows, with the narrowest window in the center featuring a letterbox below it, and a cornice above. The right bay has a door with a three-pane fanlight. There are slits in the gableheads.
To the east, there is a stone return, while the west side has a rendered gable. At the rear, there is a brick range. The building is adorned with 12-pane timber sash and case windows, covered by grey slates. It features crowstepped gables and small corbel skewputts, with cast-iron rainwater heads on the returns.
