Description
The St Andrews Hotel and Chapel were built in 1881-1882 by Ewan Christian, with the chapel being added in 1889. The chapel is constructed of red brick with a tiled roof and a pentagonal apse, featuring a brick cornice where the bricks are laid diagonally, and brick buttresses. It has a gabled west end with a bellcote and tower.
Adjoining the chapel at right angles is the hotel, built of red brick with some flint courses and featuring mullioned and transomed windows. The hotel is four storeys high with attics. The garden elevation displays three lower storeys of red brick, with the upper storeys rendered in cement. The garden facade is structured around a central section flanked by two projecting gabled wings, each one bay wide. The roof is tiled and incorporates five hipped dormers with ceramic finials, and two dormers to a second attic storey. The central section features five mullioned and transomed casement windows on the second floor, some with two lights and some with three. Iron balconies are present alongside the casements. The ends of the building have pedimented gables, with a five-light casement window in the attic storey, a four-light mullioned and transomed casement on the second floor, and a five-light brick bay window extending from the ground to the first floor. Verandahs with tiled canopies are present on the first and second floors.
