Description
32 High Street in Selkirk is an early 20th-century, two-storey terraced tenement with an attic and later additions and alterations. The building features commercial accommodation on the ground floor and displays classical architectural details. The exterior is finished in polished ashlar, which is deeply channelled at the ground level. The first floor has balustraded aprons and pilastered margins around the windows, a mutule cornice at the eaves, and a keystone above each opening.
On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a broad window at the ground level, with a bay to the left that has coupled windows on the first floor above. A panelled and partly glazed two-leaf door is situated within an opening in the bay to the right, accompanied by a plate glass rectangular fanlight above a single similar door to the outer right. The windows on the first floor match those in the bay to the left.
The southeast elevation is harled and includes a single-storey red brick addition. The first floor features metal multi-paned windows, while the ground level has a plate glass fixed window. The roof is slate with a platform at the apex and has coped stacks. Modern box dormers are present on each bay.
The interior was not seen in 1995.
