There was a building on this site in 1823. There is a wrought-iron bracket above the shop entrance. See photograph SE/739 for building on site in circa 1910. The site was formerly owned by the Selkirk Gas Company, who commissioned Alison and Hobkirk to provide drawings for new premises on the site. The plans are dated June 1935 and show firstly the old premises and then a detailed drawing of the premises which now remain. The building has altered little externally, except for the modern glazing, including the dormers which were originally tripartite. The projections to rear were originally intended to be used for a boardroom, office and workshop, at ground.
