Description
Hamilton Parish Church Halls, built in 1886, is a large, two-storey church hall designed in an L-plan. The building features pink stugged and snecked sandstone rubble, a steeply pitched green slate roof adorned with terracotta ridge tiles, and roll moulded windows with 12-pane fixed glazing. Notable architectural details include a moulded wallhead course, crowstepped gables, flat-coped dormerheads, a louvred ridge ventilator topped with a finialled ogival roof, and decorative cast-iron rainwater goods.
On the north elevation, the gable displays various windows advanced to the right, while a flat- and pentice-roofed bay projects from the left re-entrant angle. There is a two-leaf door on the left re-entrant elevation, featuring a moulded lugged doorpiece, a pulvinated frieze, and a pediment. To the left of the door, there are two ground floor windows, and a cross-window breaks through the eaves with a dormerhead. An inscribed panel on the far left reads, "EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE, THEY LABOUR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT. October 1886."
The east gable has two doors at the ground floor centre (with the left door blocked), a fire escape door to the first floor left with steel stairs, and paired architraved windows at the first floor centre topped with a pediment.
The south elevation features five ground floor windows, including two alternate bipartite windows and cross-windows that break through the eaves with dormerheads. There is a coped wallhead stack to the left.
On the west elevation, the gable is positioned to the right, with two ground floor windows and a tripartite window at the first floor, which has a large segmental pediment and an oculus. There is a bay to the left, with one window at the ground floor and two at the first.
The interior has not been seen. The property also includes three corniced ashlar gatepiers on Leechlee Street, two sets of wrought-iron gates, and railings along Strathmore Street.
