Description

1-5 Canongate in Jedburgh is a three-storey and attic tenement building, designed by James Pearson Alison and dated 1893, with a shopfront added in the 1960s. It is located on a corner site at Market Place and features snecked and stugged ashlar with polished ashlar margins, as well as chamfered lintels and cills.

The north elevation facing Market Place has a polished black granite shopfront with picture windows and three-pane strips above. There is a door in the left section of the right-hand window, topped with a moulded cornice. The upper storeys have a single window at the centre and tripartite windows on either side. The second-storey windows are adorned with cornices, while the third-storey windows are positioned just below the moulded ashlar eaves. Each bay features tile-hung box dormers, with the outer ones being bipartite.

The west elevation presents a single bay gable end. The shopfront continues from the north elevation at ground level, featuring a large plate glass window to the left and a door opening to the right, which has been converted into a window. Above, there is a corniced bipartite window. The third storey has a single window with a carved cill and a segmental pediment, which is topped with cresting that breaks into the gable. This pediment is dated 1893, and there is a gablehead stack.

The building has timber sash and case plate glass windows, with ashlar skews and skewputts moulded as eaves. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks. The cast-iron guttering is also moulded as eaves.

Inside, the building features an intact 1960s café.
