Description
The former Congregational Church, now the Tourist Information Bureau, is a Gothic-style building dated 1877, which underwent conversions in 1989 and 1999 by GAIA Architect of Aberfeldy. The church features an octagonal spire, a 4-bay aisless nave, and a 3-stage tower with a hall. It is constructed from squared chlorite-slate rubble, accented with contrasting sandstone ashlar dressings, and includes base and string courses, hoodmoulds, raked cills, stone mullions, and chamfered reveals to the hall.
On the south elevation, there is a broad gabled bay to the left with three bipartite windows on the first stage and a large hoodmoulded raised-centre tripartite window above, topped with a glazed trefoil in a gablehead with a cross finial. The tower is positioned in the bay to the right, with a low gabled hall set back to the outer right featuring square-headed windows, a narrow window to the left, and a taller bipartite window in the center under a pointed-arch stone detail.
The tower has an engaged first stage with a hoodmoulded, stop-chamfered doorway that includes a modern door and a plate glass fanlight on the south side. A foundation stone is located close to the ground on the left, with a string course above leading to the second stage, which has a narrow light on the south and east sides. The reduced third stage features tall hoodmoulded timber-louvered openings on each face and splayed angles. Above, the spire has a gabletted niche, likely the former clock housing, on the south side, and is topped with a decorative cast-iron weathervane.
The west elevation displays four tall lancets grouped toward the left and three modern rooflights. The east elevation has a broad gabled bay to the right. The building features leaded diamond-pattern glazing in the narrow window on the south side, with sympathetic replacement timber-framed glazing elsewhere. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the skews are ashlar-coped with moulded skewputts.
