Description
Tradoch Hall, located at 30 Main Street in Temple, dates back to 1844. It is a single-storey church with a rectangular plan and three bays. The northeast elevation features coursed, droved sandstone with stugged dressings, while the rest of the building is constructed from tooled rubble with stugged dressings. The windows and door openings are segmental arched and contain small pane coloured stained glass. The building also has long and short droved quoins.
The northeast elevation is symmetrical, with a chamfered doorway at the centre of a gabled bay. This doorway has a boarded, glazed timber door topped by a small pane coloured stained glass fanlight. Above the doorway is a datestone that reads "1844," which is surmounted by a carved tree of life set in a trefoil, along with the inscription "NEC TAMEN CON SUMEBATUR." At the apex of the gable is an open gabled bellcote, though the bell is no longer present.
The northwest elevation is also symmetrical and consists of three bays, with regular fenestration in each bay. However, the bays on the centre and right are obscured by an adjacent timber building. The southwest elevation was not visible in 1998. The southeast elevation is symmetrical as well, featuring regular fenestration in each bay, but the left bay has a replacement window.
The church predominantly has small pane coloured stained glass windows and is topped with a piended grey slate roof that has lead ridges. It also includes cast iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1998.
