Just to the north of Dundee's city centre, redevelopment in the 1960's saw the demolition of tenements and their replacement with these icons of 1960's architecture.

Virginia Buildings, Seagate
Not being listed (presumably it is not yet old enough to merit inclusion), online details of this building are rather sketchy.
It was built around 1903, but exactly who put up the money for it is unclear. The top floors are evidently split into residential flats, but one of the ground floor addresses is noted as being occupied by a local shipping company called RA and JH Mudie in 1910.
The name of the building is intriguing, and may indicate that the block was originally the property of the shipping company. A brief piece I came across said that the company initially concentrated on bringing coal from the North of England to supply Dundee's jute industry (jute is a strong fibre), and then began exporting coal to the Baltic countries, before becoming a bit more of general shipping freight business around the time this building was built.
There is a Virginia Building built quite a bit earlier in Glasgow, which was built by tobacco importers - Virginia referring to the US state which still provides a great deal of our tobacco today. It would make no sense for tobacco to be imported into Dundee - it is on the wrong side of the country - but I wonder if it was then exported further East from here?

Former Bonded Warehouse and site of major fire
The fire took place on 19th July 1906 in the six-storey bonded store of James Watson & Co, which contained nearly a million gallons of spirits, principally whisky and rum. It raged for two days and caused "rivers of burning whisky" to flow down Dundee streets. The final adjusted loss was £203,036.
The rebuilt warehouse has been converted into residential accommodation.
