Description

St. Margaret's Church Hall in Glasgow is a Scots/German neo-Romanesque building designed by Peter MacGregor Chalmers in 1895. It was constructed in stages, with the hall and vestries completed in 1908, the nave and porch built between 1911 and 1912, and the chancel finished in 1922. The tower was completed in 1934-1935 by Gordon Galloway of Whyte and Galloway after Chalmers' death in 1922.

The church has a long side facing Newlands Road, with a nave and a gable-roofed south side aisle. The nave gable on Langside Road features spirelets at the corners and a tall apse with an open arcade beneath the eaves. The square tower, which is almost detached and located to the left of the nave gable, has four stages, with the main entrance at the bottom and an open belfry stage at the top. To the left of the tower, an open archway connects to the gabled hall, which has three stepped lights in its gable facing the street. The building is constructed of rock-faced snecked grey ashlar with polished dressings, featuring round-arched lights, mostly with recessed margins, and green slate roofs.

Inside, the walls are also made of snecked ashlar. The nave features a timber barrel-vault, aisle arcades, and mosaics in the apses. There are some figurative leaded glass windows, including three windows by Morris and Company, sanctuary windows by Powell and Son from 1950, and three windows by Gordon Webster from 1950 to 1954.

The church hall is enclosed by wrought-iron railings, which have plain widely spaced rails and slightly more ornamentation at the gates and railings.
