Dunbar, Victoria Street, Lauderdale House, Category A listed building and former military base in Dunbar, Scotland.

Lauderdale House stands at the end of High Street with a semicircular porch supported by four Ionic columns and two flanking pavilions.

Built in 1855, the structure changed from a private residence constructed for Captain James Fall into military headquarters during both World Wars.

The architectural design reflects the work of Robert Adam and his brother James, who modified the central block with Georgian additions and ornamental features.

The military barracks closed in the 1950s, and the building now contains residential flats while maintaining its protected status as a listed structure.

A sphinx decoration remains on the southern side of the building, representing an uncommon architectural element for Scottish military structures.
