Description

Ebenezer Congregational Church, located on Broomknoll Street in Airdrie, was designed by James Thomson in 1888, incorporating earlier elements. This plain, gabled Gothic church features a corner tower topped with a spire. It is constructed from squared and snecked yellow sandstone, with a base course, a continuous cill course for the ground and gallery windows, and stopped hoodmoulds above the openings. The church has lancet windows with chamfered reveals.

On the west (principal) elevation, there is a pointed arch entrance at the center with a two-leaf timber door and a decorative cast-iron lamp bracket above. To the right of the entrance is a tall, narrow lancet window, and a clasped buttress is positioned to the outer right. Above, there is a stepped three-light lancet window at the gablehead. The slightly recessed, three-stage, square-plan bell tower to the right features paired small lancets at the ground level, a clasped buttress to the outer left, an arrowslit at the second stage, and a tall louvered lancet at the third stage. The spire has a corbelled moulded wallhead, gabled louvers, and a cast-iron weathervane finial.

The east (rear) elevation has a blind gable end with a narrow two-storey gabled addition at the center, which includes a square louvered vent at the gablehead. There is a date stone inscribed 'EBENEZER CHAPEL 1839' located to the outer right.

The north (side) elevation features five bays with tall lancet windows and a corner tower at the outer right. A date stone reading '1839' is positioned at the quoin to the outer left.

The south (side) elevation is obscured by an adjoining modern church hall. The west elevation has square pane-leaded windows, while the sides are fitted with modern geometric glass blocks. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods and coped skews.

The interior was not seen in 2001.
