Dundee's premier municipal building, built between 1914 and 1923 with money donated by the jute manufacturer and philanthropist, Sir James Caird. In consequence much of the historic city centre vanished. http://www.cairdhall.co.uk/history/ http://www.jamescairdsociety.com/sirjc.php "The despicable philistinism, which masquerades under the name of modern utility has lately run riot in Dundee, as in other Scots burghs, and has reached a stage when firm protests must be raised against reckless demolition." -- Alexander Hastie Millar, City Librarian of Dundee (1847-1927)
