Description
21-24 Market Place in Selkirk is a later 19th-century terraced tenement building that has seen some additions and alterations over the years. It stands three stories tall and has three bays, with shop space on the ground floor. The building is set back from the northwest elevation of No 25 Market Place, known as the Cross Keys. The ground floor is finished in painted ashlar, while the upper stories feature painted squared and snecked whinstone with polished ashlar raised margins. The rear is constructed from whinstone rubble with droved red sandstone dressings. Notable architectural features include a cornice between the ground and first floors, an eaves course, and slightly raised long and short quoins.
On the northwest elevation facing Market Place, there is a deep-set modern door in the center of the ground floor, flanked by a window on each floor above. The second-floor windows break the eaves and are topped with an ashlar coped dormerhead. The outer bays mirror each other, featuring narrow fixed-pane plate glass shop windows on the inner sides and broader fixed-pane windows on the outer sides, with a window on each floor above.
The southeast elevation has a full-height addition at the rear. The building features plate glass timber sash and case windows and has a slate roof, which has had its pitch altered in recent years, specifically in 1996. There is a harled, coped wallhead stack on the southwest side. The interior was not seen during the inspection in 1996.
