Description

The Great Eastern Public House, located on Dock Street in Dundee, is a three-storey and attic commercial building designed in the Arts and Crafts style by John Murray Robertson in 1880. The exterior features stugged sandstone coursers with red ashlar bands, harled walls at the rear, and half-timbered gables topped with a grey slate roof. The ground floor is painted and pilastered, adorned with a corniced entablature and a floral pattern plaster wallhead frieze, along with angle pilasters.

The first and second floors showcase two-storey, four-light canted windows, with diagonally coursed masonry between the floors. The timber sash and case frames include a single pane at the bottom, a large diamond-patterned top at the first floor, a six-pane design at the second, and a three-pane configuration in the attic.

On the front elevation, there is a pend entrance to the left at the ground floor, with three doors to the right, two of which are blocked. The barfront features a door formed from a window, and there are original coloured leaded clerestorey windows. The first and second floors each have three canted windows, while the centre has a four-light canted dormer with a finialled pyramidal roof. The jettied gables break through the eaves on both sides, and there are two modern rooflights. The interior was not seen.
