Description
St Mary's Church Hall, designed by G Bennett Mitchell from Aberdeen in 1938, is a harled rectangular building situated on a steeply sloping site. The hall features generous use of tooled ashlar dressings and margins. The entrance gable faces High Street and includes a wide ashlar corniced doorpiece that fronts a recessed doorway, which is topped by a radial fanlight.
The north return elevation, which runs along Back Path, has six bays and ends with an advanced two-storey gable that contains a corniced doorway beneath a lunette. This elevation is illuminated by five mullioned and transomed three-light timber windows, which are connected by a sill course and a deep eaves course. At the rear, a two-storey semi-circular apse, inspired by St Mary's Church, faces the east gable. The hall features simple leaded glazing, an apex cross, and a slate roof.
