1 St Mary's Place, Hawick

1 St Mary's Place in Hawick is a three-storey building designed by James Pearson Alison in 1891. It has a rectangular shape with a gabled roof and is situated on a sloping site. The ground floor features commercial premises, while the upper floors provide residential accommodation. The exterior is made of stugged yellow sandstone ashlar with polished margins, and it includes chamfered window margins, ball finials on the skewputts, and scroll-ended skews. There is a moulded eaves course along the top.

On the northwest elevation facing Drumlanrig Square, there is a shop on the right side with roll-moulded margins and a fascia cornice. The rest of this elevation has a regular arrangement of three bays, with a central bipartite window on the first floor. The southwest elevation, which faces Kirk Wynd, is three storeys and has an attic, featuring a plate-glass shop window on the left and round-chamfered angles at the ground floor, along with a central attic window in the gable. The southeast elevation facing St Mary's Place is roughly two storeys with an attic, featuring an architraved doorway and a dormer gable with a finial at the center, as well as two irregularly-placed windows and 20th-century dormers on either side.

The windows predominantly consist of plate glass set in timber sash-and-case frames. The building has coped skews, a coped ashlar gablehead stack on the southwest elevation, and an ashlar-coped brick stack on the northeast gable, with buff clay cans. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods with some decorative hoppers.

Inside, the shop features some panelling and cornicing, while the upper accommodation includes cornicing, timber window shutters, and timber-panelled doors.
