Description

Bothwell Evangelical Church, situated at 60 Main Street, Bothwell, dates to around 1919 with subsequent alterations and additions. Originally a station terminus building, it is a two-storey, three-bay asymmetrical L-plan structure with a gable facing northwest, a single-storey projection to the outer left, and a circular brick addition to the rear, distinguished by contrasting banding in the lower half.

The building is constructed of red polished sandstone ashlar, with stugged sandstone to the south elevation, featuring polished dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a string course separating the ground and first floors, and a cill course to the first floor. Bracketed columns and fluted pilasters flank the first-floor windows, while a pronounced cornice tops the gable window, and a string course runs along the gablehead. Strip quoins mark the angles of the advanced gabled bay, with further fluted pilasters at the first floor level.

The west (principal) elevation is dominated by an advanced gabled block to the left, featuring a bipartite window at ground level in the bay to the right and a three-light window at ground level in the bay to the left. A large five-light, round-arched window spans the entire block at the first floor, topped by a vertical shaft with ball terminals bisecting the gablehead. To the right, a four-light window sits at ground level, above which is a three-light window with a segmental-arched pediment. A moulded, architraved doorpiece, flanked by fluted pilasters on tall plinths, is centrally located, incorporating a timber panelled door and a blank rectangular panel adorned with a decorative wrought-iron light fitting. A single-storey projection is set back to the outer left, featuring a moulded, shouldered doorpiece with a dentilled pediment alongside a bipartite window.

The east (rear) elevation incorporates a circular hall with a continuous strip window around the eaves, abutting the original block. A wide, now redundant, gablehead stack stands behind the original wall. A screen wall, set back to the left, includes a flat-roofed section.

The south (side) elevation is irregular, with a wide entrance bay leading to the brick addition on the left. An advanced gabled bay features a bipartite window at ground level, and a louvered vent with a round-headed niche is positioned at the gablehead. A slightly corbelled wallhead stack with a curved pediment rises in the outer right bay. Modern double doors are flanked by large picture windows on the left side of the centre bay.

The north (side) elevation is also irregular, with a brick addition to the right and modern double doors within a low, flat-roofed connecting section. A window at ground level is located in the bay to the right of the original block, with a bipartite window above. A blank gabled wall runs to the left, topped by a gablehead stack.

The majority of the windows are timber sash and case, with fixed panes to the large five-light window. The roof is covered with grey slate, with a modern covering on the addition. A red clay ridge incorporates a ventilation cupola, and ashlar coped stacks are present on the north and south sides, along with ashlar coped skews featuring ball terminals. Cast-iron rainwater goods have decorative attachments, though some uPVC replacements are evident at the rear and on the addition.

The interior was not inspected in 1997.

The property is complemented by square-plan sandstone gatepiers with plinths and pyramidal caps, low sandstone walls with shaped copes, replacement cast-iron railings and gates.
