Bell Leisure Centre, 143-147 High Street, Dumbarton

The Bell Leisure Centre, located at 143-147 High Street in Dumbarton, is a former church designed by architect John Honeyman and built between 1863 and 1864 in the Early English Gothic style. The building has a rectangular plan and features a three-stage square tower at the northeast corner, topped with a tall, broached spire. The exterior is constructed of snecked and stugged ashlar with polished dressings.

The lower stage of the tower is plain and includes a continuous horizontal string course, while the upper stages are accented with clasping buttresses that are capped with pinnacles. The second stage has a single hood-moulded lancet on its outer faces, and each face of the top stage features a large, louvered, hood-moulded belfry opening with shafted jambs. Lucarnes are located at the base of the spire.

The gabled elevation facing High Street includes a cusped-headed door that is recessed under a pointed arched and gabled opening, flanked by pointed windows. Above this, there is a triple window with cusped heads and a hood-moulded design, along with a smaller three-light window in the gable head, featuring a taller central light. To the left, angle buttresses are topped with gablets and pinnacles, and there is a low stair tower that has a shouldered door under a pointed arch, with a two-light window above.

All openings are adorned with moulded arches and shafted jambs, some made of black Carnock stone, and feature foliate capitals. The body of the church has five pointed windows on each side elevation, although there are modern alterations at the west gable. The roofs are slated and sweep over the aisles. The interior of the building has been gutted.
