Dumfries Baptist Church, Newall Terrace, Dumfries

Dumfries Baptist Church, designed by Francis Armstrong in 1880, is a classical, two-storey building with a rectangular plan, situated in a garden area at the corner of Catherine Street. The front is made of polished red ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed from bull-faced stone.

The church features a symmetrical seven-bay elevation facing Newall Terrace, with a prominent pediment above the projecting three-bay center. It has a moulded plinth and a channelled ground floor, with coupled Roman Doric pilasters at the corners that support a heavy entablature and parapet. The central entrance is composed of three doors flanked by piers and accessed by two steps. The flanks exhibit a Thomsonesque style, with two five-window pilastrades above three single lights. At the back, there is a narrower outshot with two-storey office buildings filling the angles, and the windows are divided in a Thomsonesque T-pattern. The roofs are covered with slate.

The church is enclosed by a low red ashlar boundary wall featuring square piers.
