Tayside House was an office block development in the city centre area of Dundee. The building served as the headquarters for Tayside Regional Council and its successor organisation following local government reorganisation, Dundee City Council. Tayside Police leased part of the building, which formed the city centre police station.

Until the industrial revolution, the current City Centre represented the full extent of the City of Dundee, Scotland. Now roughly encircled by the market gait dual carriageway, the city centre is now the main shopping and commercial district. Unlike the city centre of Glasgow, many of the city centre's streets are not built on a grid plan and in that way have more in common with the street plan of the Old Town of Edinburgh.
Dundee Parish Church, St Mary's is one of two of the city's City Churches
McManus Galleries houses a museum and art gallery with a collection of fine and decorative art as well as a natural history collection
