54, 56 High Street, Selkirk

54 and 56 High Street in Selkirk is a late 19th-century, three-storey, two-bay terraced tenement with shops on the ground floor. The building features painted polished ashlar at the ground level and stugged ashlar on the upper storeys, accented with polished ashlar dressings. There is a cornice between the ground and first floors, as well as between the first and second floors, along with an eaves course, flush quoins, and stop-chamfered arrises.

On the northwest elevation facing High Street, there is a large fixed plate glass shop window at ground level situated between the bays and also to the right, framed by a pilaster colonnade. To the left, there are two two-leaf panelled doors, each with a rectangular fanlight above—one featuring a two-pane design and the other with plate glass. Each bay has a bipartite window on every floor, with foliate carved stone above the first-floor windows. The second floor features breaking eaves with curvilinear dormerheads, each adorned with carved ornamentation at the gableheads, and an ashlar thistle finial on the left (the finial on the right has been removed).

The southeast elevation has not been seen since 1995. The building has plate glass timber sash and case windows, a slate roof with ashlar coped skews and skewputts, and ashlar coped wallheads with mutual stacks on the northeast and southwest sides. The outer ground-level capitals are Gothic-composite and clasp a rainwater downpipe. The interior has not been seen since 1995.
