51 Queen Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

51 Queen Street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, is a single-storey, rectangular-plan building that was originally constructed as a volunteer drill hall around 1870, with later alterations including cinema additions from 1936.

The main facade facing Church Street is symmetrical and features three bays with a gabled roof. It is built from ashlar sandstone and has a channelled base course. The central entrance includes a round-arched doorpiece with a keystone, above which is a large, partly-boarded circular window that has a keystone hoodmould. At the gablehead, there is a small rectangular window with a moulded surround, and the gable is topped with a corniced chimney stack. The outer bays contain tall round-arched windows with chamfered reveals, along with bracketted and moulded entablatures featuring a panelled frieze. The roof is slated, with ashlar coped skews, and there are timber doors.

Inside, some original 1930s cinema decoration remains, including pilasters with gilt Corinthian capitals, foliate cornicing, and a coombed ceiling. A balcony at the western end showcases diamond moulding detail and a coffered ceiling below. Throughout the interior, there are Art-Deco ceiling lights and wall sconces.
