Description
The Post Office at 29-31 High Street in Linlithgow, designed by W W Robertson in 1903, is a single-storey building in the Scots Renaissance style. It is constructed of cream sandstone ashlar and features chamfered reveals and transomed windows on the south elevation. The corbelled eaves course extends as a string course that steps over the window to the gabled bay on the outer left, and the doorpieces are roll-moulded architraved.
On the south (entrance) elevation, there is a window in the taller advanced crow-stepped gabled bay to the outer left, with a doorpiece to the right that includes a four-panelled door. To the right, there are four recessed bays; three dormer-headed windows with transoms break the eaves to the left, each topped with round-headed open pediments that cradle finials. The central pediment is dated 1904. To the outer right, there is a doorway with two-leaf panelled doors, and 'Post Office' is carved into an ashlar panel above. The balustrated parapet above is interrupted by the dormer-headed windows, and there is a corbelled angle turret with an armorial crest on the southeast corner.
The east elevation features a crow-stepped gabled bay with a mullioned and transomed window at the centre. The windows above the transoms are nine-pane sash and case, while the lower sashes are two-pane and mostly blocked. The roof is covered with green slate.
