Similar vertical strip at each angle forms square grid pattern. 6 shouldered arched windows, 1 bipartite, with blocked architraves and cill and lintel-level band courses. Bracketted eaves.

End elevations similar stonework, band courses and grids. Bracketted eaves to gables. E gable blind, with modern stair adjoining, W gable has doorway (modern door) and window altered to door (now blocked), reached by steps clad in cyclopean masonry with wrought-iron railings.

SOUTH ELEVATION: formerly to platform, altered to receive modern extension.

Statement of Interest

Built for the Dundee and Newtyle Railway to bypass the Law tunnel and to serve the Camperdown Works Branch Railway. Closed 1967 and converted to a social club in 1972. The polygonal grid pattern of walling is a style unique to Gowans. The only other examples are 10 Napier Road, Edinburgh, Gowanbank, West Lothian and the derelict Creetown Station in Wigtownshir e.
