Morgan Tower, 133-139 (Odd Nos) Nethergate, Dundee

Morgan Tower, located at 133-139 Nethergate in Dundee, is a four-storey, five-bay tenement designed by Samuel Bell around 1794, with an early 19th-century infill bay to the right. The building features a striking five-storey, bow-fronted tower with an ogival roof and a crescent finial, along with early ground floor shops. It is constructed of random rubble, with squared rubble in the infill bay and ashlar dressings, topped by a grey slate roof that includes a cat-slide over the rear stair tower.

The shopfronts are made of painted ashlar with cornices and have recessed margins around the windows and doors. The windows are margined and feature restored 12-pane sash and case glazing, although there are out-of-character trickle vents. To the left of the tower at ground level, there is an original or early 19th-century bowed-paned window. The tower's upper floors have Venetian windows, but the top floor features blind sidelights flanked by single windows. Small dormers are tucked behind the stacks of the infill bay. The building has ashlar-coped skews with skewblocks, a corniced wallhead, and ridge stacks that are shouldered at the infill.

On the front elevation, there are doors and shopfronts in three bays on the left, with three windows on each upper floor. The tower is to the right, featuring a centrally located door and shopfront, with windows on each upper floor. The infill bay on the far right has a shopfront on the ground floor and a window on each upper floor.

The rear elevation is constructed of red random rubble and features a prominent near-hexagonal stair tower that is accessed by a forestair leading to the first floor, with three stair windows. There is a projecting toothing for an earth closet stack at the left re-entrant angle, terminating at a corbel two meters from the ground, and narrow squint windows at the right re-entrant angle. The rear also has two shouldered wallhead stacks.

Inside, the pharmacy retains many 19th-century fittings, woodwork, and glass, although some alterations have been made. There is a timber spiral stair leading from the shop to the first floor. The bowed rooms above feature original simple anthemion cornices and timber shutters for cupboards and windows. Floor levels vary throughout the building, and the main spiral stair has a stone newel and an original sinuous timber handrail.
