Description

29 West Port in Selkirk is a later 19th-century, three-storey, five-bay terraced tenement that features shops on the ground floor. The building is situated on a slope that falls to the southwest. The ground floor is finished in polished ashlar, while the upper storeys are clad in stugged ashlar, with polished ashlar dressings on the first floor and droved ashlar dressings on the second floor. The rear of the building is constructed from whinstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Notable architectural features include a base course, a cornice between the ground and first floors, a cill course on the third storey, and an eaves course. The ground floor has stop-chamfered arrises with basket-arched openings, while the upper storeys have plain margins around their openings.

On the northwest elevation facing West Port, the design is symmetrical. There is a two-leaf panelled door at the centre of the ground floor, topped by a two-pane rectangular fanlight. Above the cornice, there is a block featuring two couchant lions. Each floor above has a window. To the right, there is a modern glazed door with a plate glass rectangular fanlight above, flanked by two-pane fixed shop windows in a two-bay arrangement. The left side mirrors this layout, except there is a partly glazed and panelled door between the windows on the ground floor.

The southeast elevation includes a full-height brick addition that is platformed and located to the outer right of Nos 23 and 25 West Port. The building features four-pane timber sash and case windows and has a slate roof with a leaded platform at the apex, along with ashlar coped mutual stacks. The interior was not seen in 1996.
