23 High Street, Linlithgow

23 High Street in Linlithgow is a three-storey, asymmetrical Baronial tenement built in 1885, situated on a corner site with a shop on the ground floor. The building is constructed from squared, snecked and stugged sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar dressings, with the ground floor painted for the shop. It has base and string courses, as well as a cill course for the first-floor windows. The second floor is corbelled, with the cills incorporated into the corbel course. The windows have architraves and are bipartite with stone mullions, topped with crow-stepped gables.

On the north elevation, there is a roll-moulded doorpiece with a two-leaf panelled door located at the rounded angle on the left. Above the door, 'St Michael's Place' is carved into the first-floor apron. Above this, there is a two-stage circular tower with corbelled eaves, a conical slate roof, and a ball finial. To the right, there are two large display windows on the ground floor, a bipartite window on the first floor, and a window with a semi-circular pediment on the second floor that features the date in the tympanum. The gable is lop-sided, with a ball finial and a coped stack breaking skew to the right.

The east side elevation has four asymmetrical bays, with a lower wing on the left. There are two gabled bays on the right, with the outer right bay being slightly advanced and taller, featuring two widely spaced display windows on the ground floor, and a window on both the first and second floors, topped with an apex stack. The lower bay has a door with stop-chamfered reveals and roll-moulding, with 'Hame's Best' carved in a panel above the door, a narrow window to the right, and another window on the second floor, along with a ball finial at the apex.

To the left, there is a two-bay, single-storey and attic wing over a raised basement. This section has stop-chamfered reveals, with two windows and a low door to the basement, two windows above, and two gabled dormer-headed windows in the attic above the string course, along with a tall wallhead stack to the right. The gablehead returns to the south. The windows are sash and case, with two panes in the lower sashes, multi-pane in the upper sashes, and fixed panes in the shop windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and features beak skewputts and original rainwater goods.
