One of the city's most original buildings, all the more surprising as it was built as a garage, by John Soutar in 1938-39. The clock tower has Scandinavian influences, particularly in the lantern. It was flanked by the repair shop and showroom. Grade II listed. It has suffered some depradations, probably in being adapted for new uses, but still looks good its new life as the home of County Furnishings (or at least it did before they closed).
