Scalloway Museum, Main Street, Scalloway

Scalloway Museum is a late 19th century building that was originally a pair of near-symmetrical end-of-terrace shops with a flat above. It is constructed from coursed dressed granite with stugged dressings and features chamfered arrises.

The south elevation facing Main Street has a central 2-leaf boarded door with a rectangular fanlight above, flanked by plate glass shop windows and shop doors in the outer bays, with the right-hand door being arched and blocked as a window. Each bay on the first floor has bipartite windows, with the outer bays featuring gabled stone dormerheads that break the eaves.

The side elevation is blank at ground level, with two windows displaced to the left on the first floor. The building has modern glazing throughout and a purple-grey slate roof. The roof includes skew-copes on the gables and dormerheads, which are finished at the eaves with corbelled and gabletted skewputts, along with coped stone gablehead stacks topped with octagonal cans.
