Prominent building

The photograph above was supplied by Kenneth Baxter and shows buildings around Crescent Street in Dundee. It dates from the 1860s and was taken from Dens Works.

“One of the more prominent buildings that can be seen in the photograph is Wallacetown Church,” says Kenneth. “This was designed by George Matthewson and was opened in 1840. Since 1981, the building has been home to Trinity Parish Church, which was formed by the union ofwallacetown with two other churches (Baxter Park and St Matthew’s).

“The building today has some obvious differences from its appearance in this photograph, as its tower was considerably heightened in the 1870s and its famous clock was not added until 1891.”
