Description

St Aloysius Church, located at 25 Rose Street in Glasgow, is a Neo-Baroque Jesuit church designed by C J Menart between 1908 and 1910. The church features a tall campanile at the northeast corner, a nave, transept, and side aisles. It is constructed of polished ashlar with a rusticated base and a plinth that advances to podia. The entrances on Rose Street and Hill Street are adorned with a giant order of tetrastyle fluted Corinthian pilasters, and there is a central corbelled elliptically-headed, keyblocked light. The return elevations have narrow, round-headed aisle lights, and the ground floor is accented by a cornice. A continuous die parapet with balustrades runs along the top, and the clerestory windows are architraved, console keyblocked, and elliptically-headed, set within a linking graduated string course topped by a mutule cornice.

On the Rose Street elevation, there is a plain boundary wall at the head of a double return staircase leading to three entrances, each supported by pilasters or semi-engaged columns that hold up lintels. Above these entrances are panels with egg and dart surrounds and gold lettering that reads "DIVO ALOYSIO SACRUM." Sculpted panels are positioned at capital height, and there is a central sculpture above the window. The outer bays feature small, plain aedicule lights. The southwest return has a plain domestic block with linking string courses, while the rusticated wall has outer corniced piers and a die parapet with balustrades.

The Hill Street elevation showcases projecting transept and entrance bays to the west, featuring a central segmentally pedimented, pilastered doorpiece. The campanile is plain with recesses and panelling on the second stage, topped by a segmentally pedimented, keyblocked, louvred bellcote and an open aediculed final stage, finished with a gold ball and cross finial. The church has concrete roofs and cupolas, along with wrought-iron railings and gates.

Inside, the church features a nave arcade and richly decorated side chapels.
