Description

St Ninian's Church Hall, dated 1895, is a tall two-storey and attic, seven-bay by eight-bay, L-plan church hall. It is constructed of squared and snecked sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings, while the sides and rear are finished in red brick. The building features base and eaves courses, pointed-arch openings, and hoodmoulds with cross-detailed label stops on the doors. The windows have raked cills, chamfered arrises, stone transoms, and mullions.

The south elevation, facing St Ninian's Church, has nine-light transomed openings. To the right of the center, there are three bays with a door in the center and windows in the flanking bays. Above, there are three additional windows on the first floor, with the center window being slightly taller and breaking the eaves into a cross-finialled dormer gablet that features a hoodmoulded and trefoil-headed small light. The three bays to the left of the center mirror those on the right, but the center ground bay has a window, and there is a slightly lower bay with a single window on the outer left.

The east elevation, facing Union Street, is symmetrically fenestrated with eight bays. It has paired four-light transomed windows in three bays to the left of center, and a timber door with blocked lights in bay three at ground level. The center and right bays contain nine-light windows, and there is a moulded datestone with the initials 'A' and 'B' located high between bays five and six. Additionally, there is a further four-light window on the outer right above a piended porch, which has a window and a blocked door on the return to the left.

The north elevation is a plain brick wall featuring a full-height raised chimney breast. The windows are timber sash and case with horizontal five- and six-pane glazing patterns, although some bottom lights on the east elevation are blocked. The roof is covered with grey slates and decorative terracotta ridge tiles and finials. There is a diminutive gabled ventilator at the north end of the east range, profiled guttering, and ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts. The interior was not seen in 2002.
