Museum, 143 High Street, Linlithgow

The building at 143 High Street in Linlithgow is a late 18th century, three-storey, three-bay house with classical detailing. The northern elevation features cream squared and coursed sandstone rubble, while the southern elevation is rendered. It has a base course, raised margins, and relieving arches above the ground and first-floor windows.

On the northern (entrance) elevation, there is a pilastered, corniced, and painted doorpiece on the outer right with a fanlight above it. The central and left windows are regular in size, with slightly smaller windows on the first and second floors.

The southern (rear) elevation consists of three bays, highlighted by a tall round-headed stair window in the center, which is complemented by a wrought-iron balcony.

The building has new (installed in 1991) 12-pane sash and case windows on the ground floor, with 12-pane windows on the first and second floors as well. The roof is covered in grey slate and features a small skylight on the right, ashlar coped skews, and a substantial rendered stack on the right gable, which is reduced on the left.
