The B-listing description states it was "Dundee Institute of Technology Annexe" at the time of listing (1995). Has anyone here ever been inside? The listing says the interior was "entirely reconstructed", presumably after the fire. <br /><br />StreetView doesn't show any sign of occupation at the Nicoll Street side, but there's a solicitor at the Rattray St end.<br /><br />The other posts on here mention a few other halls. There must be a lot of these scattered around the city, some still in use. I was in the Park Avenue one recently.jim7474https://www.blogger.com/profile/06946836865883792501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-83387379534581040152010-11-03T16:24:15.898-07:002010-11-03T16:24:15.898-07:00He used to go to The Gateway Exchange (run by a fa...He used to go to The Gateway Exchange (run by a famous Glasgow murderer/writer/scultpter Jimmy Boyle and his wife/Lawyer)and get artworks from the 'rehabees' there and sell them for them in his far more up market gallery which made them more dosh. I met him when putting up an exhibition of photos from the Dundee Photographers Workshop (which was based in the DRCU), he seemed friendly enough but a bit manic, talked even more than me scary ;)<br />the bearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-71017803494989228782010-11-01T10:07:04.002-07:002010-11-01T10:07:04.002-07:00He was excellent as himself inThat Sinking Feeling...He was excellent as himself inThat Sinking Feeling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-52365942651446319722010-11-01T08:48:10.339-07:002010-11-01T08:48:10.339-07:00In the early 80's I used pay regular visits to...In the early 80's I used pay regular visits to Edinburgh's Fruitmarket Gallery, then nip along to Demarco's Gallery, just to keep up with what was happening in the visual arts.<br />I've been in the Demarco Gallery when "the guy in the photo" was in, and to say Richard had the gift of the gab, really is an understatement. He was hyper enthusiastic about everything, with a large dose of charm thrown in. You couldn't help but find him endearing.<br />Bet he sold loads!!RETRO DUNDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746839418666784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-81297536893012688262010-11-01T05:43:05.983-07:002010-11-01T05:43:05.983-07:00I love that description of Richard Demarco as &quo...I love that description of Richard Demarco as "the guy in the picture". There is an online archive of his work hosted by Dundee Uni, but this does not seem to be in it. Perhaps you should contact them to let them know about your photie?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
