Abstract: |
A building survey was carried out on a derelict Methodist church situated at 55 London Road, Edinburgh. The survey was carried out to fulfil a planning condition prior to its demolition. The church was constructed shortly before 1904 according to cartographic sources and was last used for worship in 2004. Occupying an L-shaped plan, the church has a rectangular congregation area lit by Palladian-style windows. A hall adjoins the congregational area. The building is mainly timber-framed resting on brick foundations. The interior walls are clad with timber panelling to dado height with painted plaster above. The roof is a through-purlin construction with painted sarking boards. The timber rafters are exposed. The apex of the roof is boxed-in and pierced with ventilation holes. The exterior of the church has featureless harled walls. The roof is tiled and has a squat central louvered spire. |
