Site of a tram depot and power station known as 'Grange Works', built in 1905. The depot was built by the Dundee, Broughty Ferry and District Tramways Company when the tram line was extended from Claypotts Road, Broughty Ferry to Monifieth High Street. The line opened 27 December 1905 and closed 15 May 1931. Coal for the power station was delivered direct from the railway immediately to the south. Water for cooling was drawn from the Dichty Water and for the boiler from the Dundee mains. Equipment for the power station included three Lancashire boilers and two Bellis-Bruce Peebles 200kw generators. It was a single-storey L-plan building with later additions, constructed from brick with some harling and dry dash, ashlar dressings and a slate roof. There was a small single-storey office block at the east. It featured segmental-arched windows with brick voussoirs, stone keystones and cills, set in large recessed brick panels. The tram depot had car sheds to the south elevations, skew gables with skewputts and corrugated additions to the east and west. The end gables featured coped gable stacks and a harled brick corbel and panelled decoration to the east gable. Inside, the roof had open steel trusses and timber sarking. The power stations was within the west range. It has a lean-to addition to the west gable, and a large loading aperture with doors high up breaking through brick corbelling. The gable apex was shouldered to a coped stack, and contained a bricked-up oculus. There were various modern additions masking many of the original features. The detached office block at the east was dry-dashed with brick panels, a piended roof and a chamfered corner at the north-east. It was also L-plan, and there was an addition within the re-entrant angle.
