Description
The Halls and Session House at Burnside Parish Church, located on Church Avenue in Glasgow, were originally designed by Stewart & Paterson between 1909 and 1911 as St Gilbert's Church in Pollokshields. The church was relocated to this site between 1950 and 1954, along with simpler halls and a polygonal session house that were built from 1926 to 1928 by J J Craig & Son. The buildings are prominently situated on a rise overlooking Burnside.
The church is designed in the Gothic style, featuring lancet windows and constructed from rock-faced red ashlar with polished dressings, although some concealed elevations are faced in 1950s brick. The church has a rectangular shape, with a triple-light Dunblane-type main gable facing north and mostly paired lancets on the sides. The west flank resembles H E Clifford's Titwood Church from 1893-1895, featuring a side aisle that links to a porch at one end and a transept at the other. The east flank lacks a side aisle and porch but includes a doorway and a polygonal, shallow transept. The interior fittings are original and were relocated, except for the organ, which came from Belmont Church.
Adjoining the east gable of the church is the polygonal-ended session house, which includes a main hall featuring a stepped three-light window. A retaining wall at the front is also made of red ashlar, and there are steps with iron lambs and railings.
