Barnhill Cemetery Lodge, 27 Strathmore Street, Barnhill, Dundee

Barnhill Cemetery Lodge, built in 1869 by James MacLaren, is a two-story, L-shaped lodge constructed in a Jacobean style. It is built of tooled snecked rubble masonry with painted long and short quoins and dressings, and has a slate roof. The windows are sash and case windows with 2 and 4 panes, featuring chamfered long and short margins. The roof has saddleback skew details with skewputts and decorative cast-iron cross finials, and moulded stacks.

The east elevation has three bays. A gabled entrance porch is centrally positioned facing south, with a single window to its east return. The porch has a chamfered segmental-arched doorway, a heraldic shield above, and a finialled gablehead. A recessed bay to the left has a window on the ground floor and a gable dormerhead above. A projecting gabled bay to the right features windows on both the ground and first floors, with corbel detail to the gablehead stack. A single-story lean-to is situated on the far right.

The south gable has a canted window at ground floor, and a bipartite window at first floor with a hoodmould.

The west elevation features a chimneybreast with paired stalks and two decorative cans. A small window is on the ground floor to the left, and a 6-pane stair window is above. A slightly advanced gable is on the left with windows on both floors; a stepped wall at the far left incorporates a segmental-arched gateway adjoining the cemetery wall.

The north gable includes a single-story lean-to addition to the ground floor, a wallhead gable with an attic window and stack, and four decorative cans.

Barnhill Cemetery, which the lodge serves, was opened after the Old Burial Ground at Chapel Lane, off Fisher Street (both listed separately), was closed, partly due to a cholera epidemic in 1866. The gatepiers adjoining the lodge are listed as part of the cemetery.
