Description

The former Free Church located at 46 Main Street in Invergowrie, Dundee, was built in 1844, with a tower and an eastern bay added in 1906 by architects Patrick Thoms and William Wilkie. This plain rectangular-plan church features a later Romanesque tower on the south gable and a bay on the east elevation. The exterior is constructed of stugged snecked rubble with stugged and margined ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof and stone slates on the tower.

The church has round-headed windows with chamfered margins and 12-lying-pane fixed glazing. The south gable displays margined angles, sawtooth skews, and stylized beakhead skewputts. The three-stage tower has margined angles, a round-headed wallhead frieze with stylized beakhead corbels, paired windows with cushion-moulded mullions and nook shafts on the first stage, and stepped tripartite arcading at the top stage, which features louvred belfry openings in the center.

On the south gable, the tower is advanced to the center, featuring a scroll-moulded round-headed doorcase with a hoodmould, and a door set in a recessed panel. There are small pentice-roofed single-storey bays to the left and right re-entrants, with one window to the left and two windows to the right, along with a corbel table and corbelled eaves. Above, there are bipartite windows, and a single window on all elevations at the second stage, also with a corbel table. The third stage is set back as a belfry with a ball-finialled pyramidal roof. Blinded windows are painted to resemble 14-lying-pane glazing on the main gable left and right.

The east elevation has a four-window bay advanced to the center, with a blinded window painted as a 12-lying-pane on the left and right returns, and bracketted gables with plain bargeboards. There are additional windows on the main elevation to the left and right.

The north gable features a window off-centre to the left, a lean-to on the right, and a blocked window in the roofspace, with deep bracketted eaves. The west elevation includes a full-height canted bay at the center with upper windows, two windows and a blocked door to the left, and two windows to the right.

The interior has not been seen. The property is enclosed by a rubble boundary wall to the north and east, complemented by decorative cast-iron railings to the south.
