Description

Wick Martyr's Free Church, dated 1839, has a rectangular plan and features a later porch along with a two-bay return to Malcolm Street. The exterior is harled with rusticated quoins and raised decorated margins, and all the dressings are finely rendered. The south gable is made of rubble and is lit by two long windows. There are single windows flanking the porch and a blind window above it. The ground and first floor windows facing Dempster Street, which light the galleried interior, all have small lying-pane glazing. The rubble wall along Sinclair Terrace is low and coped, topped with a cast-iron railing.
