There are records of the arch being completed by October 1850, as documented in the 6th November 1850 edition of the Dundee Courier. There may be confusion as the architect, J T Rochead, wasn't paid until 1851 and the rest of the final debts were not settled until 1853. The arch was demolished between February and March 1964.
