Description

1-10 Dean Path Buildings is a four-storey and attic tenement built in 1895 by Dunn and Findlay, designed in a plain Scots Baronial style. The building features a roughly T-shaped plan and is constructed from squared and snecked rubble with roll-moulded red sandstone ashlar dressings. Its picturesque and irregular composition includes prominent crowstepped and asymmetrical gables, set on a site that slopes down to the south.

The north elevation facing Dean Path has three crowstepped gables that are evenly spaced, with the right gable slightly advanced. At ground level, there are three irregularly spaced doorways, each with recessed blind fanlights; the central doorway has a cornice, while the outer bays feature semicircular pediments. The fenestration is roughly regular, consisting of single and bipartite windows. The roof includes rectangular piend-roofed bipartite dormers, some of which are of later date.

The east elevation is unfinished, showcasing a large blank gable end wall that is rendered, along with a canted moulded string course and a prominent coped wallhead stack.

The south elevation, which faces the dam, is an extensive four-storey structure with a basement. It features a full-height, three-light canted bay on the right and an advanced gabled bay on the left, which includes a rectangular re-entrant stair tower. The fenestration here is roughly regular with varying sizes, and some doorways have plain rectangular fanlights. The dormers are rectangular and made of red sandstone, with some later tile-hung rectangular dormers.

The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, along with some small pane windows. The roof is covered with grey slates and features a moulded clay ridge, coped ridge, and gable end stacks with modern clay cans. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.
