Description

9 and 11 West Port in Selkirk is a mid-19th century two-storey building with an attic, featuring three bays and a shop on the ground floor. It is located at the end of a terrace and constructed from squared and snecked whinstone, with raised polished ashlar margins and droved ashlar tails. The southwest elevation is made of whinstone rubble, with droved ashlar dressings at the northwest end and timber lintels at the southeast end. The rear also consists of whinstone rubble. The building has a base course, a fascia and cornice between the ground and first floor, an eaves course, flush painted ashlar long and short quoins, and painted margins.

On the northwest elevation, there is a 19th century or possibly early 20th century shop front at ground level, featuring a modern boarded fascia above. The centre has a partly-glazed two-leaf door with a plate glass fanlight, flanked by two-pane shop windows that include plate glass ingoes to the door. Each bay of the first floor has a regularly spaced window.

The southeast elevation has a two-storey projection in the centre and to the left, with a single-storey addition in the right bay that has a window at the first floor. The building has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with modern glazing in the first floor of the right bay on the southeast elevation. The slate roof is adorned with ashlar coped skews and skewputts, and features three-light canted and half-piended dormers in the outer bays of both the northwest elevation and the outer right of the southeast elevation. There is an ashlar and whinstone coped wallhead stack on the southwest and a whinstone coped stack with rendered repairs on the northeast.

The interior was not seen in 1996.
