Description

The Tower on North Esk Road in Montrose is a three-storey, octagonal former water tower designed by William Middleton in 1841. It features Tudor gothic detailing, including a parapet with corner pinnacles and gablets on alternate sides. The front is constructed of sandstone ashlar, while the rear is made of squared and snecked stone. There is a band course above the ground, first, and second floors, with deeply chamfered margins and battered cills.

On the west elevation, the ground floor is rusticated with an entrance, and there are windows on the first and second floors that have stepped heads and hoodmoulds. The flanking sides also have plain windows on the first and second floors. The south elevation mirrors the west elevation.

The east elevation has small plain windows on the first and second floors, while the side facing northeast is blank. The north elevation is blank at the ground and first floors, but features a stone-mullioned tripartite window with a stepped head at the second floor.

The building has metal-framed casement windows, and the roof is not visible. The interior has been converted into a domestic dwelling.
