Lawside Dye Works, Milton Street, Dundee

Lawside Dye Works, located on Milton Street in Dundee, is a jute mill built around 1830-1840, with extensions made around 1865-1866. The building is constructed in an L-shape using rubble and features two storeys plus an attic.

The elevation facing Milton Street showcases a 10-bay red sandstone mill from the earlier period, which includes later loading doors on both the ground and first floors. There is a cornice at the attic level, a flat-topped finial on the north gable, and a cast-iron fire escape. The gable end of the 1860s extension adds to the three southern bays of the mill, featuring a round-headed 12-pane sash and case window above the cornice.

The elevation on Paterson Street has been remodeled and extended during the 1860s. The engine house has been rebuilt, displaying two tall round-headed bays with keystones that enclose the ground and first floor windows. To the east, there is a two-storey, nine-bay mill with an attic-level cornice and a flat-topped finial at the east gable. The roofs are covered with slate.

Inside, at least part of the original 1830s mill has been rebuilt with concrete floors, while the 1860s section appears to have wooden floors supported by iron columns. The original roofs have been preserved.
