Scottish Enterprise Borders ( Former Maxwell Hotel), Bridge Street

The Scottish Enterprise Borders, formerly known as the Maxwell Hotel, is a building from the later 19th century, with possible earlier elements, and later extensions added to the rear. This four-storey structure features an upper breaking eaves and has a symmetrical rectangular plan in the French Classical style. It has been converted to offices in 2006.

The central bay includes a later widened glazed doorway that leads up to a tower with a piended roof, adorned with cast-iron brattishing and a French oculus dormer. The flanking sections have corniced and pilastered doorpieces, with tripartite windows beside the doorways. A corniced and dentilled fascia is present at the second floor. The building has plain gabled dormers that break the stone balustraded eaves, and ball finials are located at the skew-ends. The exterior is made of narrow coursed rubble, with render on the southeast and southwest sides, and painted stone dressings, quoins, and rybats. The door surrounds are stop-chamfered.

Most windows are predominantly four-pane timber sash and case, with plate glass in the timber sash and case tripartite windows. The building features 20th-century glazed metal doors, pitched slate roofs, and large corniced gable end stacks. Square-section cast-iron gutters collect water between the dormers, with cast-iron downpipes recessed behind the fascia.

Inside, the building has been remodelled to create office spaces throughout. There is a carved timber staircase that connects all floors, supported by ornamental ram's head corbels, and cornicing is present in the principal rooms on the first floor.
