Tayside house was built in 1972, and was opened for 1975 and was the headquarters for Dundee City council for just shy of 40 years.
It was also the tallest building in the city centre, at 15 floors.
As you'll see in my previous blog, there was a tunnel which ran from Tayside house to the Olympia swimming centre, so this area was pretty busy in the 90's and 2000's.
In addition to this, there was also a small police station (if memory serves me well) just below the entrance to Tayside House.
The office block had to be taken down piece by piece because of the busy main road next to it and because of the train tracks which run underneath it.
Dundee City Council is now based in North Lindsay street in a newer, more modern building.
