Description

Ferniegair Mission Church, built between 1900 and 1902, is a 4-bay chapel designed in the Romanesque style. It features a prominent 3-light arched window on the gable facing the road, an entrance lobby, and a bellcote on the side, with a gabled hall at the rear creating a T-plan layout. The exterior is constructed from bull-faced snecked sandstone with polished ashlar dressings on the main elevations, while the sides and hall are made of squared, stugged, snecked sandstone with polished ashlar margins. The principal elevation has an intermittent base course and three polished ashlar band courses, along with ashlar-coped skews and bracketed eaves.

The main elevation, facing northeast towards the road, features three hood-moulded narrow arched lights beneath a semicircular relieving arch, flanked by shouldered buttresses. A lunette is located at the apex of the gable. The entrance consists of a two-leaf timber panelled front door set in a stop-chamfered, hood-moulded round arch architrave, leading to a small piend-roofed lobby on the right. Steps lead up to the door, with the phrase "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW" inscribed on the riser of the upper step. A simple gabled bellcote is positioned between the lobby and the gable, at a right angle to it. The side elevations of the church have four bipartite mullioned windows, and there are timber-panelled doors at each end of the northeast elevation of the hall, which also features bipartite windows on the southeast and northwest gables and four windows on the southwest rear.

The windows predominantly have leaded lights in timber frames, with non-traditional double-glazed windows in the hall. The roof is covered with graded grey slate and includes two cast-iron ridge vents for the hall.

Inside, the church has an exposed M-trussed roof, timber pews, a timber communion table, and tongue and groove panelling along the dado. The hall contains a very small, simple stage.
