| The Royal Hotel was built in 1877 with an entrance in the centre of the block on Tay Street and consisted of about 28 rooms. The Royal Hotel Bar entrance was on the corner of Tay Street & Robert Street. The hotel liquor licence was removed in 1882 after only a short existence and a public house licence was substituted. The hotel contents were sold off in 1882 and again in 1884 after which the hotel part of the property remained empty until 1890 when, with the exception of the Bar, it was converted into housing. Part of the property was used as the first Roman Catholic Mission Hall. Some of the rooms fronted on to Tay Street and some were over the first shops in Robert Street. The building appears to have been flexibly divided - rooms seem to have been allocated to different houses as needs changed. At times there were as many as 14 different tenancies, at others as few as 11. Because of this it is impossible to say who was living in which particular rooms at any given time. A 'best guess' is given on these pages. In 1936 the whole property was declared unfit for habitation. At this point it was found that some of the valuation roll entries were duplicates. The Town Council ordered alterations to give 2 x 3-apartment houses and 6 x 2-apartment houses, and these were in place by 30 September 1938. There is no way to link the pre-1938 division of rooms to the post-1938 arrangement, so these pages show the properties as two separate listings. The buildings were demolished in 1971-2. | formerly 32, Tay Street | Location |
| On this whole plot there have been 3 generations of buildings. 1. Built from the 1830s on, a house, Tay Cottage, on Tay Street; further up Robert Street Turnbull's 2 workshop buildings with a house above one of them. Tay Cottage was demolished in 1876, the workshop in late 1877. 2. Built in 1877, the Royal Hotel on Tay Street, and a row of shops with houses above running up Robert Street and round into Union Street (the last bit built 1878). The whole block was known as Royal Buildings. They were all demolished in 1971-2. 3. Built in 1973-4, the existing Royal Buildings. | formerly 32, Tay Street | Location |

| After the death of Hon. Sheriff Johnstone in 1929, Miss Thomson purchased the property in 1931. She advertised rooms or suites to let in January 1936, put the property on the market unsuccessfully in May 1936, then opened it as a residential hotel (Craighead House Hotel) on 21 October 1936. By May 1938 the house had been sold. [source: Courier, Dundee, various dates 1929 - 1938, British Newspaper Archive.] | 94 Tay Street | Location |

| Before 1893 it is difficult to allocate individuals to each property. Before 1871 it is virtually impossible. What is given here is only a best guess.

| A simple set of properties which has been complicated by internal divisions and multiple letting. Originally 3 properties: the shop (9) on south; cottage (11) - Smith then McNaughton - in middle; cottage (15) - Gibb - on north. (15) was sometimes let as 2 properties, but from 1896 on it has always been 2. (11) was split into 2 c.1897, initially as 2 houses, but then one of them was used as a store for the shop. All properties were bought by Mackay c.1912 since when it has been impossible to sort out the internal divisions of properties. (13) has been created out of varying parts of (11) and (15). The part used as a store for the shop has reverted to being part of either (11) or (13). | 9 Union Street | Location |

| A simple set of properties which has been complicated by internal divisions and multiple letting. Originally 3 properties: the shop (9) on south; cottage (11) - Smith then McNaughton - in middle; cottage (15) - Gibb - on north. (15) was sometimes let as 2 properties, but from 1896 on it has always been 2. (11) was split into 2 c.1897, initially as 2 houses, but then one of them was used as a store for the shop. All properties were bought by Mackay c.1912 since when it has been impossible to sort out the internal divisions of properties. (13) has been created out of varying parts of (11) and (15). The part used as a store for the shop has reverted to being part of either (11) or (13). | 15 Union Street | Location |
| A difficult block to allocate precisely. Ground floor had 2 houses of 2 rooms each; middle floor had one of 2 rooms and one of 3 rooms; top floor had one of 2 rooms and one of 3 rooms. Allocation of inhabitants is consistent from 1940 back to 1881 and is helped by directory entries, but uncertainties exist both before and after these dates. The 1964 renumbering is a complete mix-up. | formerly 26, Union Street | Location |
