Public house. Dated 1905 above central door. Begun 1902. By BF Simpson, Lawson and Rayne for Archibald Arrol & Sons Ltd of Alloa.

Art Nouveau style. 3 storeys and attics; 5 bays, the outer ones narrow. Wide yard entrance in fourth bay; round-headed surrounds to 3 doors with fanlights at left, to left of yard entrance, and at right end; the central one blocked, all under bracketed

End turrets of oculi in stone surrounds under high round-hipped fishscale roofs with tall disc-and-spike finials. Intermediate square-headed dormers have tall diagonally-set pyramidal roofs with swept eaves. McCombie describes the building as 'exotic'. Mackenzie (1827) described the Half Moon as 'the resort of many respectable farmers on market days'. Bennison - The old Half Moon was partly owned by John Meikle in the 1860s. He took sole possession in 1884. In 1896 Arrol's of Alloa took over Meikle's business. Major rebuilding took place after the turn of the 20th century resulting in the impressive façade which still survives. The Half Moon became an Ind Coope house. Since 1963 it has displayed a Tetley's sign. Pearson - the Half Moon was the headquarters of Meikle & Deuchar. James and George Deuchar went into partnership with James and John Meikle in 1868. Meikle and Deuchar parted company in 1880 but the Meikles remained at the Half Moon. James died in 1883 and John Meikle took over. At this time the Half Moon was a plain brick three storey building with two ground floor bars. The owner's name was in large letters over the central front door. In 1895 John Meikle became part of a new company formed by Arrol, brewers from Alloa. Benjamin Simpson's first redesign of the pub in 1895 added decorative pilasters and lights over the windows on the façade. The interior was transformed by a circular bar counter. Arrols commissioned a complete rebuild in 1903, by Simpson. The building, which survives today has a five storey Art Nouveau façade. A niche in the central scrolled gable contained a crescent moon, but this has disappeared. Inside the front bar was a rectangle with rounded corners. The rear select bar was turned into a sitting room. The pub reopened in 1905 - the date is inscribed over the unused entrance on Bigg Market. Little now remains of Simpson's interior apart from a mirror surround at the rear, in what would have been the sitting room. In 1930 the Half Moon was taken over the Samuel Allsopp & Sons Ltd from Burton. They merged with Ind Coope in 1934. In 1961 Ind Coope became part of Allied Breweries. In 2013 No. 10 is various offices, No. 12 is Munchies, No. 14 is Pop World.
