Description
38 High Street in Selkirk is a late 19th-century, two-storey building with an attic and two bays, featuring commercial space on the ground floor. The ground floor is finished in polished ashlar, while the first floor has stugged ashlar with polished dressings. There is a cornice separating the storeys, an eaves course, and hoodmoulded windows on the first floor, along with stop-chamfered arrises.
On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a stiff-leafed colonnade at the ground level with segmental-arched openings. To the right of the center, there is a large fixed-pane plate glass window, while a narrow window with a fanlight is located to the left of the center. A large window is positioned on the outer left, and a narrow window is found on the penultimate right. There is a panelled door on the outer right with a plate glass fanlight above. Each bay on the first floor features a tripartite window with a segmental lintel.
The southeast elevation is not fully visible, as of 1995, but includes a full-height projection at the center. The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a slate roof with a platform at the apex, and a modern box-dormer on the right. There are ashlar coped mutual stacks and a moulded gutter supported by cast-iron brackets. The interior was not seen in 1995.
