West Road Newport on Tay
This unusual building is in fact a private dwelling house on the west side of Newport on Tay overlooking the Firth of Tay.
The building suffered from damp as a result of water ingress through failed masonry and the poor condition of roof surfaces. The cement harl was removed, the rubble wall repaired and consolidated and a traditional hydraulic lime harl designed to follow the surface contours of the walls applied. The harled surface was finished with several coats of limewash.
The east and west chimneys were taken down and rebuilt, lead gutters and flashings were replaced and isolated stone indent repairs carried out. At the rear of the building an upwards extension was created and finished in the same harl and limewash. The original pediment copes were laid aside during construction and re-used to complete the new build.
