Description
Meadowside Gospel Hall was built on a corner site in the mid 19th century by James MacLaren. It is rectangular in plan and built in sandstone with a slate roof. Its main elevation faces west with a blocked central arch and a blank heraldic panel above. The present main door is part of a linked extension on the west. The north elevation has a stone framework with corbels but has been infilled with brick. The vents on the roof are original as seen in past images. The five skylights are twentieth century additions.
