Description
Free church seminary, comprising 2 different blocks, both fronting Francis Street.
BLOCK TO LEFT (nearest west) is a single storey with Tudor-arched windows, possibly a church now in re-use. Rubble-built; rendered dressings, resembling red ashlar, possibly a late 19th century addition to what appears to be a mid 19th century building. Slate roofs. Gabled front to street with 3 stepped windows, small-paned glazing, projecting chimney breast on west flank. Gabled jamb at north end of west flank, main roof carried over porch in re-entrant angle; projecting gable on east flank an addition in sympathetic style.
BLOCK TO RIGHT (nearest east) on corner with Matheson Road, long flank wall to Francis Street. 2-storeyed, gabled, imported brown (?Loch Broom) rubble, contrasting detail in concrete. Slate roof. Mullioned windows, 6 close- spaced bipartited at ground, 3-2-3-light windows at 1st floor, each with gabled head rising above eaves and arch detail to window heads. Axial ventilator cut down - only base survives.
All set behind low boundary wall topped with simple, spiked cast-iron railings.
