Description

This is an early 1800s, two-storey, three-bay terraced house located on Beach Crescent, Broughty Ferry, Dundee. The exterior is harled, with a slate roof and rendered stacks topped with brick copings on the east side. Stone skewputts are present on the eaves.

The south-facing elevation features a central door that is now largely hidden behind a modern, single-storey sun room. Two widely spaced two-pane sash and case windows are present on the ground floor. The first floor has a single similar window on the left, another partially blocked in the center and a tripartite window on the right. A rainwater pipe with a funnel-shaped, vertically ribbed hopper is located on the right side of the elevation. Skew gables are visible on the left and right, with ridge stacks and thackstanes. The roof to the left is piended and abuts the ridge of 18 Gray Street.

The west-facing gable, facing onto Gray Street, is blank, but shares a continuous base course with the adjacent property at 22 Gray Street.

A surrounding wall is constructed of squared rubble on the south side and cement rendering on the west side.

The building was originally incorporated with 11-13 Beach Crescent and 18-20 Gray Street to create an elderly ladies’ home, previously known as the Home of Rest, which provided accommodation for retired domestic servants. The house is depicted in an engraving of Beach Crescent from 1835, as found in Bowman’s guidebook. An early plan of the new town at the North Ferry, dated 1801, appears in the Dundee Central Library.
