Early 20th century housing created by the Great North of Scotland Railway for workers at its newly established railway works in the town. This is one of the seven blocks, each consisting of 4 units containing 2 dwellings on the ground floor and 2 on the upper floor. With electric light and inside toilets they were significantly better than most other workers’ dwellings.
