14 South Esk Street, Montrose

14 South Esk Street in Montrose is a church hall and entrance building designed by probably John Sim in 1885. The structure is a tall single storey, 4-bay church hall that adjoins a taller 2-storey, 2-bay entrance and apartments, all in the Franco-Italian Renaissance style. The exterior is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with a bull-faced finish on the ground floor, a cill band course, and squared and snecked stone on the sides and rear. The building features an eaves cornice and pilaster ends.

On the principal elevation, the 2-storey section is to the left, showcasing stone-mullioned bipartite windows with corniced heads, and a first-floor window with a bracketed cill. Full-height pilasters frame a round-arch entrance made of white granite, which is inscribed with "Melville Mission Hall" above a fanlight with geometric glazing. Above this, there is a Venetian window at the first floor, with outer openings designed as niches. The elevation is topped with an open wallhead pediment and an ornate miniature tower featuring a stone spirelet at the center. The single storey hall to the right is symmetrical, with two rectangular windows with corniced heads in the center and outer bays that include Venetian windows, varied by a columned bipartite center light with a traceried head and additional outer lights above the lintels.

The south elevation is a blank gable end, while the north elevation is also a blank gable end adjoining the neighboring property. The west elevation features a forestair leading to the entrance of the first-floor apartment. The 2-storey section has timber sash and case windows, while the church hall has partly surviving colored glass in geometric bordered leaded glazing. The roofs are pitched with grey slate, featuring stone skews and skewputts. The gablehead stacks are made of tapering ashlar, with a band course, cornice, and unique flared square section cans. Ridge ventilators are present on the hall.

Inside, the ceiling plasterwork remains intact, showcasing deep coving, cornice, and brackets, along with cast-iron grilles for the ventilator openings.
