Description

St George's Free Church Hall, located at 48 Buccleuch Street in Dumfries, was designed by James Halliday in 1883. This Neo-Jacobean building serves as St George's Church Hall and features a tall, two-storey structure with attics and a basement. The design is symmetrical, comprising three bays, with the central bay projecting outward at the first-floor level and topped by a crowstepped gable.

The façade is framed by broad pilasters with foliated capitals that surround shop windows and a central door. Below the first-floor bipartite window, which is mullioned and transomed in the Tudor style with hoodmoulds, there is a string course. Above this, a small arch window is positioned over a segmented arched recess that contains a panel depicting the burning bush, accompanied by the legend "Nec tamen consumebatur."

The building features a cornice beneath the attic windows, adorned with ornamental water heads and downpipes that connect to the eaves. There are two dormer-headed windows with pediments and finials. The central window in the gable is topped with a Jacobean pediment. At the rear of the hall, Gothic windows with plate tracery and blind heads can be found.
