Description
36-37 Market Place in Selkirk is a mid-19th century two-storey building with an attic and three bays, featuring a shop on the ground floor. The ground level is finished in painted squared and coursed whinstone, while the first floor is unpainted with ashlar raised margins and droved ashlar tails. The southwest side has whinstone rubble with ashlar dressings and includes a single-storey brick lean-to addition. There is a cill course for the first-floor windows, an eaves course, and long and short quoins.
On the northeast elevation facing the Market Place, there is a glazed door in the center at ground level, flanked by fixed-pane plate glass shop windows in each of the outer bays. The first-floor windows are regularly arranged above.
The southwest elevation is irregular due to a later single-storey addition on the outer right, which is adjacent to a close formed by projecting houses at Nos 34 and 35 Market Place. The building features plate glass timber sash and case windows, a slate roof, coped ashlar skews, and brick mutual stacks. There is a modern platformed bipartite dormer on the northeast side, slightly to the right of center.
The interior was not seen in 1996.
