Description
59-61 High Street in Linlithgow is a two-storey, three-bay tenement built in 1870. It features a near-symmetrical design with a pend and an office on the ground floor. The building is constructed from cream sandstone rubble that is squared and coursed, with ashlar dressings on the north elevation. It has an eaves course, architraved windows, and an entrance with stop-chamfered reveals.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there are tripartite windows in a crowstepped gabled bay at the center, both on the ground and first floors, with a hoodmould that steps over a date plaque. To the outer right, there is a doorpiece with a fanlit door, and to the outer left, a segmental-headed entrance to the pend, also with a hoodmould stepping over a panel above. The top floor features gabled and finialled dormerheads for the windows on the outer right and left, complete with beak skewputts.
The east and west side elevations include a crowstepped gable that is shared with No 63, while the right side is recessed and adjoined by a similarly tall building, No 57, on the left.
On the south (rear) elevation, there is a family crest of the Cornwalls of Bonhard located above the pend. The building has plate glass sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and sandstone stacks at the gables, most of which retain their original cans. There is also a rooflight on the right side of the north elevation.
