Description

The East United Free Church Hall, located on Queen Street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was designed by Andrew Heiton in 1865. This building features a cruciform plan and is constructed in a Gothic style without aisles. The exterior is made of lightly stugged and snecked rubble masonry, accented with polished buff long and short dressings. It has a slate roof adorned with fishscale bands and louvred ventilators. The skew gables are topped with fleur-de-lys finials and gablet skewputts. The windows are predominantly 2-, 3-, and 4-light with geometric tracery, hoodmoulds, and label stops, including rose windows on the west elevation and at the north and south ends of the east gallery.

On the north elevation, the building has five bays, with a porch located in the second bay from the right, featuring a pyramidal roof that leads to an unfinished tower. This side also includes buttresses and a moulded Gothic arch supported by nook shafts, complete with a hoodmould and mask label stops, as well as a segmental lintel with a tympanum. There are three gable bays to the left and a north transept on the right with angle buttresses and a large central window.

The south elevation mirrors the north but lacks a porch. The east elevation features a central porch with a moulded Gothic arch on nook shafts, flanked by windows and angle buttresses, along with a large central window at gallery level. The west elevation showcases a rose window in the gable, with a lower single-storey hall in a similar style, featuring a shoulder-arched door and two irregular gables.

Inside, the narthex at the east contains war memorial panels. The nave has plain plastered walls, a foliate moulded cornice, and a painted and traceried collar-braced roof supported by colonnetted wallposts that break through the cornice. Moulded corbels and exposed rafters are present throughout. The building features clear and patterned stained glass windows with hoodmoulds and label stops. The east gallery has blind tracery at the front, while the west houses an organ with a blind panel tracery case. The communion table, lectern, and font are situated under the crossing.
