Cathedral Hall, Dunblane Cathedral, Kirk Street, Dunblane

The Cathedral Hall, located within Dunblane Cathedral on Kirk Street, was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson in 1903 and significantly extended in 1997. It is a single and 1 ½-storey asymmetrical cathedral church hall rendered in a Scottish 17th-century style, characterized by crowstepped gables and strapworked pediments over the principal openings. The exterior is mainly harled with sandstone ashlar dressings, featuring a base course to the original section. The window openings are architraved, with plain ashlar gables to the breaking-eaves dormers. Vertical margins are visible at the arrises.

The east elevation, the main entrance front, is three bays wide. Steps lead to the recessed entrance within the central gabled bay, featuring a moulded architrave topped with a strapworked pediment containing a central cartouche, over a pair of panelled timber doors. A small attic window sits above, bearing a pediment carved with a cherub and a finial panel with a star, with strapwork decoration below the window sill. The left bay is set back, with a ground floor window and a breaking-eaves gabled dormer above. A wide gabled bay projects to the right, showcasing a large nine-light mullioned and transomed ground floor window with a pediment and cartouche dated '1903', and surmounted by an obelisk motif, with a plain apron below the window.

The north elevation originally comprised five bays, with two gabled projecting bays to the outer right. Large ground floor windows are present in each bay, each adorned with a pediment and cartouche. A more recent entrance has been inserted into the outer left bay. A late 20th-century addition adjoins the original building, set back to the outer right.

The south elevation originally consisted of seven bays. Large ground floor windows are present in each of the two bays set back to the outer right, each with a pediment and cartouche. A narrow bay with a ground floor window projects to the left, and two gabled bays project further to the left, each containing a ground floor window, and the left one an attic window. Two gabled breaking-eaves attic windows are set back slightly to the outer left, while a ground floor window is present to the right.

A large late 20th-century addition projects to the left of the west elevation. The gable end of the original building is set back to the right, housing an entrance with a replacement glazed door and a rectangular fanlight above. A small attic window sits above and there are two ground floor windows to the right.

The windows are mainly small-paned timber sash and case. The roof is covered in grey slate, with largely original cast-iron rainwater goods. Two gablehead stacks, coped with ashlar margins with stepped sides, are situated at the west end of the original building, each topped with a round can. A rectangular-plan ventilation shaft with an ogee-arched cap rises from the main ridge, above the main hall.

The interior was largely refurbished in the late 20th century. The main hall is open to a segmental-arched timber roof, with a large-pointed arch opening leading to a recess on the north side.
