Description

The Queen Victoria Works is a flax mill located at 203 Brook Street in Dundee, built between 1828 and 1834 and later altered and lengthened in the 1860s. This two-storey and attic mill features a nine-bay design constructed from rubble with tooled dressings. The north gable facing Douglas Street has a ground floor that was altered in the later 19th century, featuring three windows and a door. The first floor has blocked windows and an attic door that leads to a later fire escape, along with skew putts and a flat-topped gable finial.

On the west elevation, the wall is supported by stout flanged cast-iron columns, which were inserted in two stages during the 1860s. The first floor has nine wooden-framed windows. The east elevation has an altered ground floor, while the first floor is similar to that of the west elevation. The south gable is made of brick and features a projecting stone stair next to the engine house.

Inside, the mill originally had wooden floors supported by iron columns, with brick arches added on top in the 1860s. A four-bay addition on the south side has an iron-framed ground floor from the 1860s, while the first floor has a wooden ceiling. The attic features a wooden collar beam with wrought-iron ties.
