Description
213-215 High Street in Linlithgow is a two-storey and attic house built in 1844, featuring a shop on the ground floor. The building is constructed from cream stugged sandstone rubble, which is squared and coursed on the north elevation. It has base and band courses, a cornice, and a blocking course with cast-iron brattishing. The ground floor windows have moulded reveals, while the first floor windows on the north side are architraved. The rear features raised droved ashlar margins around the windows.
On the north (entrance) elevation, the bays are asymmetrically arranged at the ground level. There is a deep-set central door with a two-leaf panelled door that has glazed and etched upper panels, flanked by panelled ingoes and screened by a low, light wrought-iron shop gate. To the right, there are two display windows, and to the left, one display window. A pend is located at the outer right, and there is a smaller window on the far left. The first floor has five symmetrically placed windows.
The south (rear) elevation is asymmetrical, with a two-storey wing projecting to the right. A fine curved stone forestair with a cast-iron balustrade leads to a door at the first floor. There is a bipartite window at ground level with ashlar mullions on the west elevation of the wing, and a window above it features a lintel incised with the year 1844.
Inside, there is a wooden platform for display in the shop window, carved and inscribed with 'W L Morrison'. The principal first floor rooms have plasterwork cornices and architraved panelled doors with attractive overdoor mouldings. The shop windows have fixed glazing, while the north elevation features plate glass sash and case windows, and the rear elevation has 12-pane sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes two canted slate-hung dormers with piended finialled roofs, a rooflight in the center, and rendered coped stacks at the gables.
