Description
Harvest Centre, formerly St Giles Parish Church Hall, was designed by John Wittet in 1897. This building is a double-height church hall in the Scots Baronial style, with a roughly rectangular plan. It is constructed from bullfaced stone and features crowstepped gables, with openings that mostly have roll-moulded surrounds. At the rear and east side, there are several single-storey outshots with piended roofs, dating from the late 19th century.
The principal elevation faces south and has a central entrance gable that is slightly advanced. The bays on either side of the gable feature a stone balustrade. To the left of the entrance gable is a curved bay with a datestone positioned between the windows. The entrance consists of a two-leaf timber door adorned with a decorative leaded fanlight, set within a shallow arched surround. This entrance is flanked by single windows, all of which are topped by a stepped hoodmould. Above the door is a six-light window with stone mullions and a transom, topped by a semicircular carved panel featuring a thistle. The gable is crowned with a Latin cross finial.
The windows exhibit various glazing patterns within timber frames, predominantly using coloured glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, clay ridge tiles, and ventilators, while the slating on the curved bay is arranged in a fishscale pattern.
The interior, as observed in 2016, features a double-height hall with ancillary rooms located at the rear and west side. The entrance lobby floor is laid with red quarry tiles bordered by black tiles. Throughout the building, there are panelled timber doors. The ancillary rooms have timber boarding up to dado height and simple cornicing. The main hall showcases arched-braced roof trusses resting on scrolled stone corbels, with vertically boarded timber forming a dado around the walls. A partition has been added to the gallery to create a first-floor office, while the original late 19th-century panelled timber balustrade and the columns supporting the gallery remain intact.
