The photograph below shows the corner of Dundee's Seagate running from west to east left to right and St Andrews Street leading northwards at the righthand side. The area was cleared for St Andrews Buildings, which bear an inscription dated 1894.
The corner building here housed John D. Bruce, solicitor, and John Findlay jun., a house-agent who lived at Floralbank in Broughty Ferry. Nextdoor, at No. 114 was the saddler, Robert Sim, who lived at No. 112. J. Hendry is listed there in 1891-92.
No. 108 was occupied by Fairweather and Sons, tobacco manufacturers, George Livie, boatbuilders, and the home of Joseph Jaffrey, broker, whose business premises were at No. 146 Seagate.
