Description
St Andrew's Church Hall, located on St Andrew's Street in Kilmarnock, was built in 1891. This single-storey, three-bay hall has a classical rectangular plan and features a later rear addition. The exterior is constructed from snecked and stugged ashlar with polished dressings, and it is characterized by giant angle and bay pilasters that rise from a base plinth, along with a lintel and eaves course.
The west elevation, which is the principal entrance, includes a small pitched porch on the left with a timber door, a blind section to the left return, and a window at the rear next to the main hall on the right. The main hall features a central tripartite window with stone mullions, flanked by pilasters and topped with a mock pediment leading to a gable head that displays a worn shield and inscription. There is also a single light window flanking the main window.
On the northeast elevation, there is a tripartite window with stone mullions at the center, with pilastered gable ends on either side. The left gable has a later lower piended L-shaped extension that includes a window in the re-entrant angle. The right gable shows the rear elevations of the entrance porch at the center.
The east elevation, which is the rear, has a T-gable of the original structure concealed by a later T-shaped extension. It features a pair of regularly placed bipartite windows, with a single window at the gable ends of the left and right returns.
The south elevation also has a tripartite window with stone mullions at the center, with pilastered gable ends and a centrally placed single window on either side. The rear extension is attached to the right return.
Most of the windows are 2-pane timber sash and case with narrow colored glass margins in red and blue, although some are now boarded over. The rear windows have been bricked up, resulting in the loss of the original glazing. The roof is piended and covered with slate, featuring zinc flashing. The building has painted cast-iron rainwater goods and painted solid timber bargeboards. There is a small stone stack on the northwest gable with a projecting neck cope and no cans, along with a ventilation flue on the east extension gable.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 2001.
