Description
Watergate Baptist Church is a chapel featuring classical detailing and is constructed of stucco. The front has a pediment with a roundel and an urn finial, along with quoins. Below the pediment, there are three semi-circular headed windows with margin lights set in openings that have keystones; the center window is shorter and its head breaks into the tympanum of the pediment. The central doorway is semi-circular headed and has rusticated pilasters, an archivolt with a toothed course, and a keystone. The north-west elevation faces the Honddu and consists of two storeys and two bays. At the rear, there are two tall round-arched windows.
