Description
Harvest Centre was designed by John Wittet in 1897 and is a double height, Scots Baronial style, roughly rectangular plan former church hall for St. Giles Parish Church. It is constructed in bullfaced stone with crowstepped gables and the openings predominantly have roll-moulded surrounds. There are a variety of late 19th century single-storey, piended roofed outshots to the rear and the east side of the building.
The principal (south) elevation has a central and slightly advanced, entrance gable and the bays flanking this gable have a stone balustrade. The bay to left of the entrance gable is curved and there is a datestone between the windows. The two-leaf timber entrance door has a decorative leaded fanlight and is set in a shallow arched surround. The entrance is flanked by single windows, and the door and windows are all under a stepped hoodmould. Above the entrance door is a six-light window with stone mullions and transom and above this is semicircular carved panel topped by a thistle. The gable has a Latin cross finial.
The windows have a variety of glazing patterns in timber frames and the glass is predominantly coloured. The roof has grey slates, clay ridge tiles and ventilators. The slating to the curved bay is in a fishscale pattern.
The interior was seen in 2016 and comprises a double-height hall with ancillary rooms to the rear and west of the plan. The floor of the entrance lobby has red quarry tiles with a black tiled border. There are panelled timber doors throughout the building. The ancillary rooms have timber boarding to dado height and simple cornicing. The main hall has arched-braced roof trusses on scrolled stone corbels and there is vertically boarded timber to a dado around the walls. A partition has been added to the gallery to create a first floor office; the late 19th century panelled timber balustrade and the columns supporting the gallery are intact.
