description
The row of buildings was built between 1818 and 1829 to a design by Scottish architect David Neave . These are ten houses that are enclosed and stretch along South Tay Street on the western edge of Dundee city center. The southern termination extends along the Nethergate near the residential and commercial building 133-139 Nethergate . Their west-facing main façades are each three axes wide and mirror-symmetrical in pairs. While sandstone blocks were built into layered masonry along the main façade , the masonry of the rear façade consists of rubble stone . The two final pairs of houses emerge slightly from the facade. The three-story row of buildings is designed in a classical style.
The entrance doors are accessible via short front stairs. On the outer pairs of buildings, they are embedded in arched openings with final transom windows and ionically pilastrated . The pilasters support an entablature with a simple cornice . The entrance area of the central pair of houses is largely analogous, but with ionic columns. The entrance doors of the other two building pairs are let into rectangular openings and crowned by triangular gables . The twelve-part lattice windows on the ground floor are simply crowned. On the street side, a cast and wrought iron railing delimits the row of buildings. The roofs are covered with gray slate. Various dormers are more recent.
