Scots Presbyterian Church 105-107 - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
It is a single storey gabled building constructed of timber and clad in weatherboards with a corrugated iron roof. Externally it is very plain. This is characteristic of the Bungalow period in which the alterations were carried out.
The original date of construction occurred during the Edwardian period and there is little evidence of this more flamboyant style in Scots Church. The altered design of the Pakington Street facade is s little strange as the upper window appears to be a larger window cut down in size and suspended in the large bare tympanum of the gable-end.
