Description
This public house, located at 15 Dock Street in Dundee, was built in 1899. It is a four-storey building with an attic, designed for both tenement and commercial use, featuring shopfronts and a public house on the ground floor. The building is situated on a prominent rounded gushett site and is constructed from sandstone ashlar, with a channelled finish up to the first floor and a grey slate Mansard roof.
Architectural details include a base course and a corniced ground floor, with a cill course on the first, second, and third floors. There is a lintel band at the first floor and a corniced wallhead course with a low blocking course. The wallhead stacks are corniced and panelled, with adjoining pedimented dormers rising from the blocking course. The ground floor features channelled pilaster strips, doors with round-headed fanlights (which are blocked), and pilastered doorpieces with open pediments. The windows include single, bi-partite, and tripartite designs, all architraved, with segmental and triangular pediments on the first floor, lugged architraves on the second floor, and margined designs on the third floor. There are wallhead and box dormers, with 2-pane timber sash and case glazing. At the western end of the building, there is a large corniced stack with uniform cream cans running at an angle.
On the Whitehall Crescent elevation, there are four bays, with a door in the center flanked by slightly altered shopfronts on either side. Each upper floor features two single windows to the left and a single and bipartite window to the right, along with a box dormer and a wallhead stack that has one adjoining dormer to the left and two to the right.
The rounded gushett side has a door to the far right, with five public house windows to the left set within original aproned openings. Each upper floor contains three tripartite windows, and there are three tripartite dormers.
