A document found in family papers of the current owner refers to an Instrument of Sasine recorded on 13th March 1838 in which 'Barbara Constable and others' took control of the property mentioned in a Feu Charter (raised in favour of William Ritchie) which states that "the house [must be] built and completely finished as at or before the term of Martinmas in the year 1837". Further, the house could only be of 2 storeys and "should be built to the value of five hundred pounds Sterling, at least". Owned by Robert, George and Alexander Gilroy, jute manufacturers, Tay Works, in the 1860s and then Alexander Malcolm, manufacturer, Constable Works. 'Terrace House' was formerly listed as 'Jerome Hotel' but was known as such for only a short period during the 1960s. The owner has documents dating from 1837 which refer to proposed building on this site.
