Description

The Church Hall at Dalmarnock Congregational Church, located at 231 Dalmarnock Road in Glasgow, was designed by J C MacKellar in 1901, with contributions from Mackellar, Davies & Dunn in 1911-1912. This building features a symmetrical, 5-bay nave and aisles with a gabled church design that includes Art Nouveau detailing. It is constructed from coursed and snecked stone with ashlar dressings and has a swept roof over the aisles. The church is adorned with tall, round-arched windows.

The entrance elevation on the west side showcases a central Art Nouveau doorpiece, which includes an entrance flanked by engaged columns and topped with a distinctive swept pediment. The entrance doors are timber panelled, and above them is a 3-light Gothic tracery arched window. The outer bays are accentuated by flanking buttresses that are surmounted by empty niches, and there are parapetted stair towers at both ends.

The hall on the east side, facing Fairbairn Street, is near symmetrical and features two stories plus an attic. It has mullioned windows, with tripartite mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor. The entrance door is located far right, accompanied by a 2-light fanlight above. The hall is topped with a pair of central gables and predominantly features leaded glass windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a polygonal base of a former belfry located behind the front gable. The hall also has raised skews.
