Description

Linthouse Church, built between 1899 and 1900 by James Miller, is an Arts and Crafts style church located at 9 Skipness Drive in Glasgow. The church includes halls and a church officer's house on the east side, with alterations made in 1933 by Keppie and Henderson to add a new organ chamber. A hall was added to the west in 1953 by architect John S Boyd. The building is constructed of stugged red ashlar with polished dressings and features slate roofs.

The church has a gabled main elevation facing the road, flanked by battered square entrance towers that front the aisles. Each tower has an off-centre doorway and is topped with a finialed and leaded ogee-domed open cupola. The main gable features a three-bay design with a central key-stoned doorway, which has two-leaf timber doors with iron hinges, set within a columned and arched doorpiece. Above this, there are gallery windows set in a giant scale Venetian window feature that spans the full width of the gable and extends into the gable-head. The design includes skews and a finialed decorative axial ventilator.

The original hall has mullioned small-paned windows on its east flank facing Hutton Drive, and its gable facing Skipness Drive features kneeler skewputts and a finialed axial ventilator. An archway connects the hall to the church, facing Skipness Drive.

At the south end of the hall, fronting Hutton Drive, is the church officer's house. This two-storey structure has a twin-gabled elevation with a door on the left and domestic-scale mullioned windows on the first floor. It also features skews with kneeler skewputts and a corniced square stack over the front angle on the right.

The property is set behind decorative wrought-iron railings.
