Description
St Margaret's Church, located at 179 Braidfauld Street in Glasgow, was designed by William Gardner Rowan and built between 1900 and 1901. This Arts and Crafts style church resembles an English village church. It features a squat tower with a slated broach spire at the west front and a half-timbered porch facing south. At the opposite end of the long flank wall, there is a twin-gabled low transept. The building is constructed of coursed, squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has deep-eaved slate roofs. A decorative iron-railed boundary surrounds the property.
In the late 1980s, the interior was subdivided for use as a multi-purpose worship centre and it is currently functioning as the Al Tawheed Kurdish Community and Education Centre as of 2023.
