Dundee City Chambers, Municipal headquarters in City Square, Dundee, Scotland.
Dundee City Chambers is the administrative building at City Square and features a symmetrical front with seventeen bays, a stone balcony, and double-height windows overlooking the central square. The spaces spread across multiple floors and contain offices and meeting areas for city operations.
The building was completed in 1933 to replace the previous town house and was designed by city architect James McLellan Brown. The opening ceremony with Prince George marked a new chapter for city administration.
The double-height council chamber contains stained glass windows that show historical moments from the area, including the City Coat of Arms and scenes with William Wallace. These visual elements quietly tell the story of the place when you walk through the rooms.
The building sits right at City Square and is easy to find when exploring the city center. The main entrance and surrounding areas are accessible from the street, so visitors can admire the front and sometimes the entrance hall.
The ground floor incorporates retail arcading that combines civic administration with commercial spaces in an innovative way. This feature shows how city planning back then linked government functions with everyday shopping activity.
