Meadow House, 60 Reform Street, Dundee

Meadow House, located at 60 Reform Street in Dundee, is a former hotel built in 1867 by James Maclaren, with possible alterations by Thoms and Wilkie. This four-storey building, which includes an attic and basement, features classical detailing and is situated on a corner site with Meadowside. The exterior is constructed of sandstone ashlar and topped with a grey slate roof.

The ground floor has a base course that is channelled and pilastered, along with a balustraded entablature (though there is no balustrade on Meadowside). The building has a frieze and a modillioned cornice at the second floor, with a corniced wallhead above. The first-floor windows are architraved with consoled open pediments, while the second floor has segmental windows with cartouche keystones and lugged architraves. The third floor features pilastered windows, and the dormers alternate between segmental and pedimented styles. The glazing pattern includes a 2-pane over large single pane arrangement on the ground floor (with modern glazing at No 60 on the left), a 2-pane timber sash and case pattern on the first floor, and a 4-pane pattern on the upper floors and attic. The building is capped with corniced stacks.

On the Reform Street elevation, there are eight bays. A round-headed doorcase with a mask keystone is flanked by wide pilasters with a paired console head at the fourth bay from the left. There are three windows on either side with keystoned lintels above basement openings below, and seven windows on each upper floor and attic. A bowed angle bay is slightly recessed to the right, featuring a later moulded doorcase on the ground floor, a three-light window on the first floor with a cornice and segmental pediment, a three-light window on the second floor with a cartouche keystone to the central segmental light, a single window on the third floor, and a dormer.

The Meadowside elevation has three central windows with keystoned lintels above basement openings below, a blocked door to the left, and a round-headed window to the right, each with mask keystones and rusticated quoins. There are four windows on each upper floor grouped in pairs, three dormers, and paired wallhead stacks to the left connected by a round-headed link, with a wallhead stack to the right featuring a later brick extension and an urn finial at the base of the angle.

Inside, the entrance hall at No 60 is adorned with hardwood panelling, and the well stairs feature timber newels, a banister, and turned balusters. The interior of the Clydesdale banking hall showcases Arts-and-Crafts style plasterwork.
