Aystree
Aystree is a villa in the Scottish city of Dundee in the council area of the same name . In 1984 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A. Furthermore, it forms a category A monument ensemble with the associated coach house and the lodge.
history
It was Lt. Colonel T. H. Smith, who commissioned the villa. The design for the building, completed in 1903, was signed by the Scottish architects Charles Ower and Charles G. Soutar . However, based on stylistic details, Aystree is attributed to Soutar. In the meantime the villa has been divided into several residential units. The lodge has been removed from the property and belongs to a different owner.
