Entrance Block, Scottish Churches House, Kirk Street, Dunblane

The Entrance Block of Scottish Churches House, located on Kirk Street in Dunblane, dates back to the earlier 19th century and was refurbished in 1960. It is one of three components that make up Scottish Churches House, which includes the North and South Terraces. This building is a two-storey, three-bay terraced house that has been converted into part of a residential conference centre, with internal walls removed to create linking passageways during the 1960 refurbishment.

The building features a symmetrical design with regular window arrangements. The principal elevation is constructed of coursed red sandstone rubble, accented with yellow droved sandstone and ashlar dressings, while other elevations are made of red sandstone rubble with red sandstone dressings. The principal elevation includes architraved openings with long and short surrounds, a base course, and a moulded eaves cornice, along with coped gables.

On the west (principal) elevation, there is a central round-arched entrance set within a panel and recessed within an architrave, featuring a batwing astragalled fanlight and a replacement door. Flanking windows are present on each floor and above the entrance.

The east elevation has a rectangular-plan stair tower that projects to the centre, with a central stair window and an entrance with an inserted concrete lintel on the right return. There is also an altered window set back to the right on the first floor. A later 20th-century timber flat-roofed passageway, which links to a separate building, projects from the left of the first floor, with a ground floor window set back below.

The principal (west) elevation has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, and the roof is covered with grey slate, with the stair tower having a piended roof. There are two large Velux rooflights and harled coped gablehead stacks at either end (north and south).

Inside, the building has been modernised, and a connecting passageway has been inserted running north to south. However, the original winding stone staircase with a plain cast-iron balustrade remains intact at the rear of the central entrance hall.

To the west, there is an entrance gateway and boundary wall made of low coped coursed sandstone rubble, which was formerly topped with railings. The central entrance gateway features square-plan piers with pyramid coping.
