St James's Church & Hall, 5 Fort Street, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

St James's Church and Hall, located at 5 Fort Street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was designed by Charles Edward and Thomas Saunders Robertson in 1889, with the fishermen's reading room likely added in 1896, and the hall completed by D W Baxter in 1907. This Romanesque style church features a rectangular plan with an east aisle and porches. The building is constructed of snecked rubble masonry with polished buff long and short dressings and has a slate roof. The windows are single and paired round-headed, and the structure includes coped skews and cast-iron rainwater goods, some of which have decorative hoppers and straps.

The east elevation shows the church on the left, with two aisle gables that have recessed paired lights set in moulded round arches supported by nook shafts with scalloped capitals. The porches on either side are similarly detailed and topped with cross finials. To the right is the vestry, featuring a round-headed door and windows, along with a gable stack. The former reading room is located at the far right, showcasing recessed paired lights and a two-leaf door with a plain fanlight, both in round arches with a triangular indent motif. A chamfered blind oculus at the gable head bears the date '1896' and is topped with a fleur-de-lys finial.

The south elevation features two large windows that match the design of those on the east elevation, along with a boarded oculus at the gable head and a shouldered gable leading to a corbelled bellcote, although the bell is missing. The north elevation is similar to the south but lacks a bellcote and is mostly concealed. The west elevation is plain.

Inside, the church has a two-arched aisle at the east, with a round marble column that has a painted waterleaf capital. An organ by Scobell and Co of Edinburgh, which was removed from St Rule's in Monifieth around 1970, is located at the north. The interior features timber pews with cast-iron and brass umbrella stands, and a simple dado along the south, east, and west walls. A fine timber lectern and pulpit, which is a memorial to Rev James Burgess (1905-25), is situated on the left side of the north, along with a communion table and reredos at the center. The church also has panelled dado, war memorial choir stalls, and a marble tablet. The roof is collar braced with a plaster ceiling. The windows have tinted diamond glazing, except for two stained glass memorials on the north side, dedicated to Isabella and Janet Brown Anderson Henry of Woodend, Madderty (left), and James Burgess (right), commemorating his semi-jubilee as minister in 1916.

The interior of the former reading room is lined throughout with strip panelling and features a blocked skylight at the north end.
