Gospel Hall, Lewis Street, Stranraer

The Gospel Hall on Lewis Street in Stranraer was built between 1843 and 1844 by Hugh McDowall, with alterations made by John Boyd from 1845 to 1846. This single-storey, three-bay building has a rectangular plan and a gabled roof, featuring round-arched windows. The northeast elevation is rendered, while the other elevations are made of painted rubble, with painted margins on the southwest, southeast, and northwest sides.

The northeast entrance elevation has three gabled bays, a painted base course, hoodmoulds above all openings, and small roundels on each gable. The central bay is advanced and features a roll-moulded doorpiece with a two-leaf timber door, decorative iron hinges, and a curvilinear gablehead topped with a bellcote and a pagoda-style finial. The outer gabled bays have flanking windows with obelisk finials.

On the southwest elevation, there is an infilled pair of windows and a triangular gable in the advanced central gable, with single windows in the flanking bays. The southeast elevation, facing Ashwood Drive, has three windows and a boarded timber door on the outer left. The northwest elevation also has three windows and a boarded timber door on the outer right. The roof is covered with rubberoid tiles, has stone skews, and features a square coped stack on the central southwest gable.

Inside, the hall contains timber pews, a pointed timber panelled pulpit, flanking mottled lights, timber dado panelling, and decorative capitals. There is a glazed narthex screen with multi-pane glazing and roundels above, along with three single windows on the north and south elevations.
