This is the former Blackscroft Library, one of five libraries donated to the City of Dundee by the Scots-born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in the early 20th Century. The others are Blackness, Coldside, Arthurstone (still libraries) and Barrack Street (now a museum). Blackscroft Library was sold by the council in 1983 and is now a night club called, appropriately, 'The Reading Rooms'.
