2 West Port, Dundee

2 West Port in Dundee is a four-storey tenement block designed by the City Architects' Department in 1933. It features shops on the ground floor and is situated on a prominent corner site, with nine bays facing West Port and four bays on South Tay Street. The building is constructed from stugged and snecked squared rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the rear is made of brick. It has a grey slate roof.

The exterior includes corniced shopfronts, a main cornice and frieze above the second floor, and a coped wallhead blocking course. The windows are a combination of single and bipartite styles with modern frames, although they were originally designed with single panes at the bottom and six panes at the top in timber sash and case. The building also features ashlar-coped skews and corniced stacks with uniform black cans, including two cross stacks and three stacks aligned with the front pitch of the roof near the ridge level. Additionally, there are two stacks flanking the angle gable, rising from the front pitch of the roof near the wallhead level, and a further similar stack at the west gable.

On the West Port elevation, there are two close entrances on the left and right, each with giant-keystoned and channelled pilaster strip doorcases. The elevation includes seven shopfronts, mostly only slightly altered, and eight windows on each upper floor, which consist of two bipartite windows at the center flanked by two single windows on either side, with bipartites at the far left and right. There is a splayed angle bay to the left, a modern door with a corniced and part margined doorcase, and a window on the first and second floors. Notable details include a corbelled cill at the frieze above the third-floor window and a stepped gable with a bull-faced ashlar panel. The right return gable features a brick representation of West Port from the 1980s.

The South Tay Street elevation has a close entrance in the center with a doorpiece similar to those on the West Port elevation, along with two shopfronts to the left and a public house front to the right. There are four windows on each upper floor, with two single windows in the center flanked by bipartite windows on the left and right.
