Description
The Baptist Church on Graham Street in Airdrie was built around 1890 and features a plain Gothic style with a T-plan and gabled structure. The church is constructed from yellow ashlar sandstone and has twin bipartite lancet windows on the south elevation. The nave is supported by clasped buttresses that rise to pinnacles, which break the eaves, and there are base and eaves courses present. The lancet windows have chamfered reveals.
On the south elevation, there is a central, two-leaf timber door with a pointed arch leading to a slightly projected porch. The door's reveal is roll-moulded and includes multiple nook-shafts. Above the door, there is a blind arrow slit in the gablehead, topped with a cross finial at the apex of the gable. Large, bipartite lancets with geometric tracery are located above the door. The gablehead jetties out and features blind arrow slits, with a stone cross finial at the top. Flanking the central entrance are clasped buttresses that terminate in gabletted pinnacles, each adorned with fleur-de-lis finials. The outer bays have paired small lancets that also end in clasped buttresses.
The north elevation was not observed in 2001. The east elevation consists of five tall lancets, clasped buttresses, and is harled. The west elevation mirrors the east side.
The church features square pane leaded glass windows, grey slate roofing with lead flashing, and coped skews. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present. The interior was not seen in 2001.
