Calls have been made to commemorate a historic Broughty Ferry building.
Armitstead House, located on the town’s Monifieth Road, has lain derelict for several years.
Formerly a convalescent home for children in the area, the site was operated by the NHS before being taken over by a property firm.
Plans are in place to build luxury homes on the site, but it currently lies vacant.
Ferry councillor Craig Duncan is now urging Dundee City Council to help commemorate the history of the site.
Mr Duncan believes the historical stature of Armitstead House and the positive work carried out there over the years means the property is worth recognising.
The Liberal Democrat councillor said: “Simply, this is a part of Ferry history and I think it should be commemorated in some sort of way.
“From the 1930s it has always been known as Armitstead House, so almost no one alive in the Ferry has ever known it as anything else.
“It’s important that the city remembers the people who carried out this good work.
“I do think there is a strong case for having it remembered.
“Communities get a sense of identity from historical continuity. Therefore, in my view, it is important to recognise the decades-long use of the site, well within living memory of most residents, most of whom will be surprised to learn that it ever was called anything else.”
Mr Duncan had previously called for a new street in the area to be named after the building, but his efforts proved unsuccessful.
Armitstead House is currently owned by developers H&H Properties Ltd.
An application has previously been lodged with Dundee City Council to create 26 homes on the site.
A spokesman for Dundee City Council said: “We are happy to discuss this with the community.”
