DUNDEE ADVERTISER PUBLISHING HOUSE

The full length of the north side of Bank Street was taken by the publisher John Leng, Dundee Advertiser. A unity of architectural style belies phased

construction, from 1859-1890. On the north side square chimney stack and a little belvedere turret, the inside lined with tiles. The rival D C Thomson and Co. eventually bought and combined the Leng titles, named on a frieze, and had a printing works opposite, replaced by a multi-storey

carpark. The street surface is of wooden setts, showing from time to time through the tarmac. These prevent harm to typecases, should any be dropped.
