Statement of Interest

Group with 16 17 Cluny Avenue, 18 Cluny avenue and 18 Cluny Place and 20-16 Cluny Place. The above terrace was already completed when James Slater, the builder, applied to the Dean of Guild for permission to build Nos 2-16 opposite.

Cluny Place formed part of the later phase of the development of the Braid estate (see notes 16, 17 Cluny Avenue). The terrace also apparently influenced James Hutton of Dundee in his desgin of 1-5 Station Terrace, Invergowrie, circa 1900.
