4 Queen Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

4 Queen Street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, is a three-storey, angular S-plan tenement block designed by James MacLellan Brown for the Housing Director's Office of Dundee Town Council in 1932. The building is constructed from tooled, snecked rubble sandstone with stugged and ashlar dressings, while the rear is finished in harled brick. It features a grey slate roof.

The ground floor has a base course and an ashlar lintel course, with a variety of windows including single, bipartite, and tripartite sash and case styles. The glazing pattern includes plate glass at the bottom and 6-pane at the top, with 2- and 4-pane windows at the rear. The roof has coped skews and stacks with original black cans, and a piended design.

On the northeast elevation, there is a recessed off-centre block with a symmetrical layout. The slightly advanced central bay includes a door to the close with a raised ashlar panel, a stepped lintel with a chamfered border linked to the base course, and a semi-circular relieving arch that is blank on the first and second floors, rising to a crowstepped gable-stack. The left and right sides have three bays each, featuring bipartite, tripartite, and bipartite windows on the ground and first floors, with three bipartite windows on the second floor. The angles on the left and right are splayed, with a doorpiece similar to the central bay (without a relieving arch) and windows on all floors. The advanced wings at the outer left and right have stepped gables with tripartite windows on all floors and blank inner returns.

To the west, there is a block that is splayed in a U-plan on a corner site, maintaining symmetry. The left side has four bays, including a doorpiece like the central bay (without a relieving arch) flanked by windows, with a bipartite window on the left. This fenestration pattern continues on all floors. The center consists of four bays set at an angle, featuring full-height, pedimented tripartite canted windows at the left and right angles, with two windows at the center on all floors. The right side facing Claypotts Road also has a doorpiece similar to the central bay (without a relieving arch) flanked by windows, with a bipartite window on the right, and the fenestration pattern continues on all floors. The gable at the right return corresponds to the advanced wings above.

The rear elevation features symmetrically placed single windows, with bipartite windows at the stairs.

Inside, each flat contains one or two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

The boundary wall to the south is a low round-coped rubble wall.
