Description
The Philipshill Hospital Chapel, dated 1931, was designed by John Watson Jnr. of Watson Salmond and Gray as a memorial to John Innes, a shipbuilder and head of the Patrick Henderson and Company shipowning firm. The chapel is white-harled with contrasting ashlar dressings, exhibiting a restrained external appearance. It features round-headed windows, a squat tower-chancel, an engaged circular stair turret, and a low nave. The roofs are slated. Inside, a wide and massive neo-Romanesque chancel arch is a prominent feature, alongside a low octagonal stone pulpit. The building remains in ecclesiastical use. Original plans are held by Watson Salmond & Gray; contemporary newspaper references are documented in the Glasgow Herald of 29 April 1929 and the obituary of John Innes on 19 February 1929.
