Although cement rendered externally and devoid of its interior fittings, the building retains excellent stained glass by Ferguson & Urie, Rogers & Hughes and William Montgomery.

The instrument remains unaltered from the original, apart from the introduction of electric blowing and retains its cedar console fittings, hand blowing and zinc facade pipes which are undecorated. It is the only pipe organ to survive in its original location in this suburb.
